We were woken up by their bells at 7 and headed up to breakfast that our host made. We sat for about an hour and a half talking and eating. The lady taught us different ways to peel and eat fruit and gave us unlimited coffee. Went up the hill to the castle ands grabbed some new brake pads at the shop in town which was host ing a busy market considering the town was about ten people. Hit the road around 10:30. Started on the most beautiful road of the trip that quickly turned vertical and we ended up walking up most of it to the top. Incredible decent into Serderon and a long flat section to lunch. Went over some more passes, swam in the gorges de la meouges, dealt with some mechanicals, and had to lock in to finish the day. Climbed through the alps, had our route interrupted by a rally car race, and had our blood sugar go to absolute zero. After recovering with crocos, biscoffs, and lemon concentrate we climbed to Gap. Having already climbed 5k we didn’t realize that Ancelle was only 17k away but another 3k vert. We started the first 5k by singing and testing our legs which were starting to feel insanely good. I went ahead to Ancelle to check into hotel but whole bunch of things went wrong but it was an absolutely beautiful post sunset approach to the town. Ended up meeting them at the hotel, got the second worst pizza of my life, we all felt great.
