Morning

Giles and Elliot have just completed 10 miles of climbing up a hill. Andy P and jon now have 10 miles of going downhill....something not quite right about that

The stall master

Andy bass Hawksworth is officially the stall master after stalling the van twice in a row...what a plonker

Final stints

What a day..made realy good time and are now on our final stints. We are all on top form..lets hope we have enough juice for tomor as we hit the mountains

Elliot at sunrise!

1st early morning stint in the bag...Elliot is next on the bike.
Looks like it might be another cracking day...fingers crossed.

Day 1 complete

After 164 miles and 2900 metres of climbing we crossed the finish line in Auxerre.
Very tiring day but have been blessed with some fantastic weather.
Tomorrow's route is 184 miles to Besancon. Rolling countryside will mean a long day in the saddle. We will be on the road for 7am and looking to finish around 7pm.

We are getting there

124 miles under our belt...just over 40 miles to go today. Simon and Lee managed to rack up just over 30 miles before we found them.

First day done for Elliot

First day done for me...Giles and I have just completed our last stint and can sit back and relax...
