We are at the end of our first day, it was great! 70º and sunny, much better than the forecast of rain & thunderstorms!
Chris arrived yesterday at noon and reassembled his bike. Unable to wait any longer he snuck out for a sneaky preview ride – just to check that he had put all the bits back in the right place. A swift 25 miles later he returned, satisfied with his handy work.
Then, after a night on some very narrow beds which Giles well remembers from last year, we set off together at the back of the ride. Chris got too excited – shot off early to the front – only to find out after a mere 3km that he had NOT put all his bits back in the right place. He had to stop & reset his gears. It is all in the preparation Chris!
After lunch, our first big climb – Col de la Colombiere - a 19 km climb to 1300m taking us to 1630m altitude. Arriving to applause & photographs (which helps) a 15 km descent followed.
We got back to the hotel just in time & the heavens unleashed the mother of all lightning storms.
The Bikes are holding up
Giles’s arse is knackered
Chris’s arse is beautiful & after 19km of cycling behind it they can vouch that Adam’s arse is magnificent!
Chopper recorded a valiant 45.3mph
Whilst Giles would like to register a massive 49mph to lead our speeds today.
Adam alleged that he passed them both – STEEL IS REAL
Today’s diet included:
Ham Rolls and Mango strips

Amazing work guys am loving the pictures. I think I am going to have to do an Ultra Marathon as 26.2 miles to you 3 must be a piece of cake.

Hope you’re not letting Giles bag all the double beds, very proud of you all but you must stop looking like you’re enjoying so much – Chopper’s hasn’t stopped grinning since he arrived!
Best
Ben
You are all marvellous!
I have never seen a mountain - it looks wonderful.
Lorna
Boys. You're looking great - I'm very very impressed by you all. Did those little beds take you back to your childhood? Were you still up at midnight whispering about your days adventure? Keep it up and think of us cheering you on through the tough bits. xx
