FRANCE PUNCTURE #6 DAY 304 208km.

SAINT JEANNE DE MARIENNE TO BARCELONETTE.   208km.

Left the horrible ski apartment the size of a shoe box, with no towels, TP, hand soap or pillow cases. Only got there at 11pm. Bookings ,com had me a confirmed room and when I called I was told the place is full, so had to start all over again via SouthAfrica, cause my internet ŵill not work.


Did some passes again up to 8000ft, my hands were frozen. Completed several other passes and then at noon had a puncture, #6.
UnfortunatelyI pinched the tube ,so rode 7km down the a motorbike shop and the guy fixed it all, another new tube and replaced the spoke rubber seal and inspected the rim, which is fine. Started to drizzle ,so got a nice hotel room, €92.

Went out for a beer and cheese platter.

    BARCELONETTE.
