Sore legs!
"Take it easy" they said. "Nice rest day after yesterday" they said. Yeah right. A few miles in and Team Jelly Baby was zipping along at 20-25 mph without a care in the World! Flatter day today after the hills of yesterday but that saw us flying through 20 miles by 9.30 and getting to the lunch stop at 40 miles by 11.00 (we had to stop for a puncture!). With no prospect of lunch for a while we pressed on, had water at 60 miles and reached Compiegne by 1.30. Truly exhilarating riding with a great bunch of guys. We deserved those beers in the town centre!
So, just 70 or so miles remaining in the challenge. So far so good with the weather and my legs are holding up well. Both knees a bit sore after today and that's not the only thing that's sore. All in all though, the training has really paid off and I feel that I'm reaping the rewards of being out in such atrocious weather in the winter.
This time tomorrow I'll be in Paris!
