Left at 07:10 in morning from La Rochelle
Rode for 101.86 km
Average speed was 23.7 km/hr
Getting ready and having breakfast at 06:15 in the morning, the start of a reasonably tough day (though there isn't much to compare it to yet)
The great departure from the Avia dépot! Will looks happy - he hit a golf ball over one of the large tanks in the background - very nice shot indeed!
A quick stop with a (hopefully) French-looking countryside backdrop, on our way south from Surgères.
Some of us found that we couldn't stay awake at 7 in the evening, after a day of riding and a whole lot of sunbathing (for Will at least)
Our home for the night, just off Cognac. Very cosy and pretty, delicious food... Everybody in good spirits, slightly sore legs, and in the knowledge it will get worse!
hey guys its Grant, Wills sort-of-step-brother!, good to see your trip is going well. Just one question, how are those french girls responding to the sight of four english lads in tight black and red lycra??!!
