Day 3 - Redon to Angers 99 miles... flat as you like :)

Day 3 - Redon to Angers 99.3 miles

A day of two halfs...  very very wet to start... grrr  i hate riding in the rain!  and to top it off my bikes rear mech was bent almost in to wheel!!!! a quick running repair ie bent it straight and we were away. Luckily the rain stopped pretty quick :)  the sun came out and we were in 28 degs cooking quite nicely... Sean even took his water proofs off!

Kirk's rear tyre went down (pinched tube) so while they repaired that i swapped the hanger so all my gears worked again... yay...

What a great ride today was,  more of the same please!!!!  the roads just seem to get longer on straighter :)

Beautiful sweeping roads! Christian goes for another KOM... this time closely followed by Craig.
My Gopro didn't see the out come for some reason... lol










The Loire river is MASSIVE! and we rode along its banks for a good few miles... a bit like the camel trail but with super smooth tarmac and not dog toffee!!!!

The locals are very nice and try to be helpful when they can, even if you are not asking them!  ha ha.. the guy was riding a MTB and flagged us down... riding in his slippers he tried his hardest to show Craig the way to go... Obviously Craigs GPS didn't have a clue which way we should be going... lol    bless him.

On a personal note... 273 miles in and i'm feeling great... knee's fine, touch wood they stay that way!!! even the saddle's still comfy!!!

The group get on really well together and support each other well.  Another early start tomorrow, blogging is real hard on the go... especially with a rubbish connection... and this is a rubbish connection! so it's time to get some shut eye.

Off to bed now with a group of noisy Greek's in the next room with a big screen and set of disco lights in the room... WTF!
