Today was just how I'd hoped our riding holiday would be. Yes, there have been hills to climb and steep declines (one was 2000 metres long at 7%!) but the sun has shone and occasionally the wind was even on our backs. We've covered beautiful, rolling French countryside, dined outside a French cafe and had a jolly good time.
Our support crew have done a stirling job again ( except for when Murray stopped his car suddenly in front of me and I very, very nearly ran into the back of him - apparently his SatNav had suddenly told him to turn left) Murray took us back to where he picked us up yesterday so we haven't missed any of the ride. Sue has been taking plenty of action shots of us as they've driven around our cycling route. We couldn't have done this trip without them.
I won't lie, I'm shattered, my legs are aching as I lie in my bed at night but I don't feel as bad as I did when I first started doing things like squats, and I can sit down and get up without groaning (although I did take the lift to our second floor hotel room this afternoon)
We're off to dinner now. We've only got about 25 miles to do tomorrow and will blog again once I've touched The Eiffle Tower.
