I rode up here this morning arriving at 12.00 noon. The 80 km was an easy ride. However with rain and conscious of not pushing too hard I decided to stay in a Hotel tonight.
Also, looking for the first time in detail at the maps I am not sure I have bitten off more than I can chew in terms of crossing the higher part of the Massif Central. I am taking the train from here up to Clermont-Ferrand and will see from there what is reasonable.

Hey Bernie,
Baz and I just had a look over your blog and we feel we have travelled some of the distance and shared your experiences. Loved the saga on the train station! Keep writing and sharing. Many thanks,
Lesley and Barry
Hi Bernie
So we know that there are (at least) two aussies in France right now, with yourself being number one (of course), but the local news media is full of the rise and rise of Sam Stosur as she heads in the French Open final tonight. Great to hear all your travelling news, including the time with the great unwashed in the railway waiting room. We missed you at Vic market this morning, and also Dave who is somewhere down on the Prom under canvas tonight - guess what it is raining here and bound to be damp down there too..I'm pleased to hear that you feel welcomed by the locals with their greetings as you meet them, this is so important for a visitor. You must tell me about the local environs that you see from your bike - food? pubs? road-side stalls? other bikes?
Great blog- keep it coming please.
Cheers
Peter and Eslpeth
