Day Four: Rest day in St-Savin


Like all Grand Tours rest days are essential. Most of us spent it washing clothes, cleaning bikes, drinking coffee and then going to a nearby town for the obligatory bike shop visit and lunch. 

Ben took one for the team by riding up the nearby climb of Hautacam (maybe 40km and 1000m?) just to make us look like a group of bike riders, but I think most of us are happy to save ourselves for the next couple of days. It's not hard to do.
