One Final Effort


Started: 10am
Finished: 12.50pm
Total Distance: 80km
450m of climbing.
State at Finish: Looking forward to the swimming pool.

Not too much to say about last day. Weather was good. Slightly downhill to start then a few bumps along the coast. A few pics below but thought I would share a typical days schedule with you.

-7.30 Get up, bathroom then down to breakfast. Discuss weather for day!
-8.15 Put cycle gear on, depending on weather, and pack bag
-8.30 Pack support car, check out, check bike, do tyres, general faffing around.
-9.00 Hit the road
-7pm to 8.30pm Finish cycling and general collapse in a heap. Followed by either cooling down or warming up or drying off depending on weather.
-Next 45 mins is generally spent stretching, munching on snacks & showering.
-Dinner – earliest 8.00pm, latest 9.30pm
-Organise bag for tomorrow and get all gear ready for morning.
-Write Blog. I think first day I started at 10.30pm, otherwise around 11pm or 11.30pm.
-Sleep: Best 11pm, worst 1am

Looking forward to putting my feet up and watching the telly.


All prepared for the last push
Leading the way through last town
