Day 8: St Martin de Fugeres to La Bastide Puylaurent
Stats: 58km, avg 12.6km/hr, max 53km/hr, 4.5hrs riding time, except I started about 6.00am and got to La Bastide at about 2.00pm so more like about 8 hours of riding.
It was uphill, then a steep downhill, then more gentle uphill; my brief notes about the day say even the downhill felt uphill!

Leaving St Martin
6.25am I'd eaten the previous day's pizza slice, drunk as much water as I could and set off on a lovely sunny day, though still cool at 6.00 in the morning.
