Great achivements today! The finish is insight (nearly) and we are doing proper cycling now, lumpy twisty roads, none of those long flat straight level things anymore! Definitely the quote of the day is unprintable and was from Iain as we approached Tyneham. He did later say this was the hardest days ride of his life!
We spent our 'rest day' yesterday in Calais trying to find a cycle shop that was open (Lundi = Ferme!!) to try and replace the broken gear shifters on Terence's bike! No luck! Which meant he had to ride the lumpy bits in Kent stuck on the big ring!, and he now understands the sentiments behind the quip from Lance .. 'ride the hills on the big ring, it hurts, but you hurt the other guys more!".
Luck was with us - Jimmy and Moira in support found a brilliant cycle shop in Whitstable who had the shifters on the spot,,, and fitted them for free being his contribution to the 'cause'.
