MacGyver fixed the seat post bag

The first challenge of the day was to fix the seat post bag that got broken in yesterday’s climb. We stopped in small Italian bike shop. The mechanic was not speaking English or French but with sign language I managed to get the parts needed to repair the handle of the seat post bag. This is a relief.

Now that this was fixed our moral was pump up to face this tough stage. We forgot our difficult some of the climbs of the Transalp can be difficult. It is so depressing when you are you rushing on the small gear for a long time and you realize that you only did 0.5 km. It was a never ending climb. We were fearing the second climb since it was a similar shape to the first one in loose gravel and that we were already having the first one in the legs. At the start of the climb we were already tired and not knowing how we will able to make it. We did it and we were very proud of our accomplishment.

We will enjoy our short stay at the CONDOR hotel in St-Vigil! You see that I haven’t completely disconnect from the office. Okay, it is not true; I completely disconnected. A trip like this completely clear you mind as you focus on the effort.
