Day 11: Pezenas to Montpellier (and Marseilles)

Distance for today: 63.24km

Not our easiest of days with fast tiring legs, but far less distance then earlier days, and far less hills than others, it was a good day with which to end our trip!!

Our first glimpse of the sea again since we left La Rochelle, not quite the same sea though!

Getting painfully close to the end of our day's, trip's and for some maybe life's cycling!!

The whole group stretching energetically once we had finished (or not), Will calling a recycling center to take his bike away so he never has to see it again!

Matt on top form and Will, for once, awake!!

The group on the beach, just before a bit of Frisbee and our car journey across to Marseilles.

We are now staying in Sausset-les-Pins, a town approximately 30 km from Marseilles, until tomorrow evening, where we will travel off in our separate ways, none of us by bike!

The expedition has been fun though very difficult at times, and also interesting... We have crossed what the French call the most beautiful country in the world, and even though we did not do so in the flattest of regions, we experienced some of the most breathtaking countryside, towns, abbeys and seasides France had to offer!

Of course, throughout the adventure the cause for which we have been riding for has been ever present on our minds - the Meningitis Research Foundation - and we would therefore like to ask you all to gather every bit of support you can from anyone you know to sponsor us and help us reach our goal of 2000 pounds. To do so, just visit www.justgiving.com/atlantictomedcycle

Finally, we of course wish to thank absolutely everyone who has helped us on this trip, from the very early preparations and support, to having us to stay during the trip. There have been people giving us directions, words of encouragement, sponsorship, and every bit has helped us keep going when we cycled up our equivalent of Ventoux!
