Day 11 26 Aug ’91 Mon - Monflanquin to Condom

Left at normal time of 0830. Uneventful ride into Villeneuve-sur-Lot where breakfast consisted of two stodgy ‘pain raisin’ each. Bloated. After getting hooted by truck drivers and dodging traffic lights, we climbed out of the town on a huge hill. Right on top of it was boiling weather again. 

Uneventful ride down into Agen apart from steep hill into the town behind a lorry on which we reached a top speed of 57 kmh. 

Next objective was Condom. Lots of jokes such as ‘Roll-on Condom!’ etc. Came into the town with salt crystallising in lumps around my body, sweating like a race horse. Stopped at supermarket and gulped down a litre of milk. Went into ‘camping municipal’. Camp­­ sites are getting very repetitive. Same sort of caravan campers everywhere.

Distance 98.04 kms Average speed 9.8 kmh Time 9hrs 55
