Stage 3

The flat stage. 126 Miles of flat & boring roads on this day. I took my ipod and we rode tight & fast for most of the day across very featureless farmlands of central France towards Bourges. It was punctuated by the support team taking some footage of us from the back of the van - so we performe a few sprints & riding as group at over 30 mph along a deserted road.

I carried on alone to be the first finisher into Fussy & Catherine Byrys' Logis. Great food that night but we were all a little wary about the following day when we would be tackling the first semi mountains onto the Massif Central.
