After a very tricky and tiring day yesterday we were advised to head off early today to get ahead of the wind. As ever, an 'eat as much as your belly can hold breakfast' and off we went as the sun rose. What a difference. The wind was normal, the odd gust but what you would expect, the sun made appearances, we could chat and the wind didn't steal the conversation. Lunch didn't have to be battened down to stop it flying away. The support team, as ever, were amazing with snacks and drinks and encouragement. We arrived in Samur with time to go for coffee, enjoy the castle and be in time for dinner. Anything not so good? Sore bottom from hours on the saddle. Time for the pressure sore cream.

Hope Day 4 was an easier one although maybe absence of blog means that it was another tough day. I am sure every mile pedalled means 10 years less in purgatory (or has Pope Francis abolished purgatory?) Mind you I should think pedalling against the wind feels like purgatory sometime. But it's not all easy at home you know - that wind we had was fairly rattling the windows and we've got the hassle of Gatwick airport and then pedalling to keep the plane up as we fly down to Lourdes on Saturday. love Tom
