Today saw a stark change in the type of cycling that had
come before. The first few days offered gentle rolling hills that could be
crested at a fairly decent pace without much trouble but now the lumpy stuff
has begun. Far more aggressive inclines and much longer in length, the
nutrition advice given by David Dixon began to play a very important role in
the groups’ condition.
Kevin was the first to feel the wrath of the group when he
arrived late to the start line. Then Fribbo took the mantle in the afternoon
when he got out of the van and began pushing the pace with fresh legs while the
others were not so keen. A few friendly words later and the group were together
again though, rolling into Brive having completed around 500 miles so far.
Andy discovered that bonking feeling. Not pretty.
