Today was meant to be the easy day. MEANT TO. EASY. It wasn't. The first 23 miles were all up hill, apart from a few downhill bits that meant you then had to go back up hill. We climbed around 2,000 feet which was more than enough for me to be frank! The wind then decided to pick up and at times we were cycling directly into the wind, UP HILL. Nice. Lunch was at 43 miles, and the final water stop at around 60, with just under 10 miles, pretty much all downhill into Beauvais. We had a fatality on the trip today - a farmer's dog ran into the road chasing a cyclist and got hit by a car...not a pretty sight!
Pictures won't upload for now so will put them up tomorrow....
