Day Four: Day of rest

Day of rest. Chopper felt bad. Various people had different agendas for this free day. Bike shops were visited. Bikes cleaned and fixed. Bodies are massaged.

Five or six ‘Virgins’ went off to do the legendary Alpes D’Huez as it was not on the route this year. Chopper and I set off in search of replacements for those beloved Rudy Project sunglasses! And I can happily report some were found. Replaced but not forgotten – not quite the same!

We then went off to see how those virgins were doing and they were doing really well! The Virgins are really strong this year! Hmmm! Sounds good!

Here you really feeling the altitude in fact you run upstairs and you feel like you might be sickening for something then you realise everyone feels it and it is altitude. Then there was a Bar-B. Then there was Dinner.
