Last day and nice easy morning ride to the Med. Needing to get there before 1pm in order to complete the whole Pyrénéan raid in the 100 hour time limit.
Weather was once again fantastic and ensuring that the Yanks were not leading the way, very little could go wrong.
The route today was not good, at times we seemed to be cycling along the hard shoulder of the motorway.
A quick drinks break halfway in and just 25 miles left.
Not long until we finally saw the sea, but with a further 10 miles cycling along the coast road, which was up and down all the way, going through some lovely bays.
The speed was high and my legs were suffering from a cumulative effect, finally getting to the finish line with 45 minutes to spare.
Pictures taken and obligatory swim in the sea and the off to the nearby bar for beers and Pizzas. Stayed there all afternoon, gorgeous and should really be done more often.
Then, that was it, packed bike away and travel back.
Many thanks if anyone read my blog. Sorry it has not had much humour in it, the rides were tough and at times my sense of humour was lost!
I'm sure I upset some of the fellow riders on route with my comments, but that's me. Operate mouth first, think later.
All the best, Russ (writing this whilst Dave is buying train tickets. We may not be back soon!)
