We moved on to lunch and water stops over what seemed (to my quads!) ceaseless challenging rises (along with concomitant descents).
The sun was getting stronger and stronger and by mid-afternoon it was sleeves off and full tanning opportunity!
Before the water stop in the afternoon a road side medical incident (not really an emergency) took its toll of the schedule and at the water stop my bike was appropriated for the organisers to chase down a rider who went the wrong way (that's a first!)
Thereafter the hills pretty much ended and a rolling road to Compiègne ended at the hotel for dinner, a briefing on tomorrows plans (pretty exciting ones) and a beer or so.
Legs weary, brain tired, and a few square inches of skin tanned, it was time for bed...
