What a day!!!! Another long day riding, it started dry but the forecast was rain at lunchtime...!
Rain!!!! I haven't see rain like it! and 11 silly buggers where riding our bikes in it!!! It was so hard that to be honest it was a joke and we all laughed about it.
The worst of it was when we were riding through Bergerac!! Probably a very nice place but to be honest it was the only bit of the ride so far that i just got my head down and peddled.
We crossing the Dordogne river and it was still raining, a beautiful area and i'm sure it wasn't at its best for us... it might look bright in the picture but trust me it wasn't.
We followed the river before climbing up to our accommodation... climbing being the operative word... after getting a puncture about a mile away from the end and the others riding on up Craig, Barry, Christian and I at the suggestion of Craig had a little sprint finish, unfortunately it wasn't obvious where we were staying so we blasted on up a climb that went on for ever! not bad after a 90 mile ride! what can i say... the boy did good on booking this place.
Home cooked pasta tea went down a treat! and the local bar was great... with led zeppelin playing and the beer flowing we all had a great evening... the pay back was to come later!!!
Sean's drink... the bar man says... It's for your wife no! lol
