3rd Day


Today was not as bad as yesterday. The morning session was rather pleasant as it was moderately flat roads and nice scenery. But this afternoon there was a nasty climb which was hard in the blistering heat. As we got into Compiegne there was a cobbled section and I was relieved that nothing fell of the bike. Unfortunately just near to the hotel I hit a big curb trying to get onto a cycle path and fell off. nothing was damaged apart from pride and a tube of suncream so it's o.k.
Last day tomorrow. It'll be a lot different tomorrow still a good 70 miles to ride but Champagne in Paris to finish with.
