Day 2........

Long day with plenty of long steady climbs and sweeping descents. Great competition with all the guys on their flashy lightweight machines. Think I'm holding my own and proving the point that the bike is the least important part of the unit - the fitness of the rider is the key.

Anyway, had lunch in a fantastic jardin public (pictures to follow). Has been a gorgeous day and the cyclists tan lines are looking good. Unfortunately a couple of riders had to take to the wagon at lunch time. Also got a front wheel puncture today right after the post lunch rest stop so finished plum last.
