Carrefour

We accidentally slept sixteen hours today, waking up at the break of noon. After a quick walk


down to an unfortunately closed boulangerie, we had some lunch and then headed to Carrefour for some provisions. The first thing you see when you enter the store is the pitiful wine section:

pathetic!
The next thing we did was check out the TVs and then o to the cheese section, which Zoe greeted with shrieks of "CHEESE" and pointing at the cheese.

I managed a quick ride up past Proveysieux, which was kind of painful, and felt slow. I didn't realize it packed that much elevation in such a short distance. If trainingpeaks is right, its more than 2k feet in 3.5 or so miles, for an average grade of 11%. I was pinned the whole time, but barely moving.

I descended via the Route de Claix, which has a few scary turns on it. I saw a dude in a bandana channelling Pantani cranking his way up the bottom section.

Dinner was excellent as always at Franck's. He even cracked open a 1999 Pomerol!
