I am sick again, can't believe it. Maybe i never really got all healthy, but now i'm pretty sure i have a laryngitis. Yesterday morning i was about to call it a trip and just try to take trains home to chill out. But then decided to stay here, take a room for a few nights and see how it goes.

Gorges de la Jonte

Days before i rode through the fantastic gorges in the cevennes but at some point couldn't enjoy it anymore and was just struggling to get anywhere because i felt weak. Rode a bow around cevennes out to Nimes and i am staying here right now. The plan was originally to ride mont ventoux then towards the alps, but right now i feel like i need to chill out with cycling too much mountains. Long climbs while breathing through my mouth, i don't think that will be great for my larynx. I think i will stay two more nights here and try to really relax, then see what to do.

@AchtungDrempels I am glad you saw it, my instance went down after I posted it. So now I have to use mastodon (my alt account instance doesn't federate with world)
