End of day 5, and we're somewhere near Metz, apparently sharing a hotel with the pro-cycling team Cofidis. It's been another tough day, but after the trials and tribulations of yesterday, it was good to get back to some proper cycling.
The biking was quite dull: busy main ish roads (equating to single file riding), into (yet another) headwind, and plenty of hills. We did a lot of climbing today - something around 1100 (long) metres - notably first thing this morning and last thing before stopping. My legs are feeling it this evening.
I think the distance is starting to show on everyone. We're all very tired and a few people have picked up (hopefully) minor injuries. I guess it's not surprising, given how far we have come.
Tomorrow: more cycling. Must keep the faith.
Hey bro
ReplyDeleteHope you're getting some well earned rest & that your legs feel ok again in the morning. Sounds like a tough couple of days.
Hooray for being over half way..! If only it was all downhill from here..
We think you're brilliant & are proud of you, Ozzy especially. He's been blowing raspberries to show his support.
Love J, I & O xxx
