Arrival at le chateau

Team Thornby Wheelers riding up to Chateau after 105 miles and then relaxing with mineral water!!

Guys did an amazing job today. Early start at 7.30 with no breakfast, but made good progress and treated themselves to coffee and croissants at about 25 miles. Sarah and Simon met up with them at about 50 miles for refuelling ( water, mars bars, sports drinks and bonbons).

Lunch stop was 73 miles at around 1.30pm.  Nice location on river. Good meal but service was a little slow. Again Sumon and Sarah were able to join.

Last stage temperature was very high( Gary says 36.1 C) with very little shelter. Simon and Sarah went ahead and checked in. Guys arrived about 5.30 pn, tired but very but feeling pleased- nearly 300 miles in 3 days!
