Woke up around midnight because it was raining, got up to put my clothes inside anyway. Finally fell back asleep, but woke up way too early. There was also no bakery service at the campsite, so we left early.

D Day! Alarm clock at 6.30 am, got up, had a quiet breakfast, visited the toilet and got on the bike around 8 am. At 15°C it was the ideal temperature. Purely on flexibility towards Gorges de la Nesque, remains one of the most beautiful roads I have ever been able to cycle on. +/- 18 kilometers long
