Day 12 started slowly. It ended 54 miles in 4:04 later - we were still so shattered from yesterday!
Although we woke at our usual 6am with the intention of getting going by 7am, this was not the case. Shiambi had sore hip flexors and needed extra ... Read more >

Off to a flying start, the first stop wasn't until 30min into the ride a record for us! To strip down as the air was so still and muggy at 8am!
After 21miles we stopped for a snack and a ... Read more >

Another swig of port to start the day, shorts full of chamois cream, bananas and bread in the belly....off we cycled towards St Emilion. The gods were smiling and we had sunshine and a fabulous cycleway all the way ... Read more >

A quick 65 miles in 4:25 ride time. Don't ask how long our breaks are...
A pretty uneventful day today but at least it was an easy ride. The hills are not as high and the day off probably helped a lot, too. We finished the Jaegermeister today. Sad ... Read more >

Is it the seat? The cleats? Or just not enough cycling training?? 😢
On day six we saw the French countryside by way of train after a very slow start savouring cafes in the hotel cafe as the train to our next destination didn't ... Read more >

JAEGERMEISTER every day keeps the pain at bay...Except today!

53 Miles in 5 hours
Ear muff, that is, and banging heads on the drop beds in the ferry, what did you think we meant? Thankfully, the ear muff was found with the soaking wet shoe covers and there was no permanent damage to our heads...we think.

53miles in 4hours and 20 minutes.
This morning started with self-adoration by way of an abs showdown (not Sukhi because she is far too cultured for this type of uncouth behaviour...She took the pictures 😝) ... Posing in front of the mirror ... Read more >

49 miles in 5 hours ;-). Day started with a puncture - in Taitoko's backyard! A through and through picked up the night before! After of course throwing back some Jägermeister and filling up the hip flask that will surely come in handy we were ready ... Read more >

About a year ago Sukhi had a grand plan to cycle to Barcelona with Kelly x 2! Previously, we had cycled to Paris from London, along with only a couple of long day trips in between. However, cycling to Barcelona will be a challenge above anything ... Read more >
