Now: off course/35 miles short of today's target/moving slowly/half an hour to sunset...

Appears to have called at a bike shop?

Listened to her podcasts today for the first leg from start to Halifax.
Seemed to be struggling a bit with the feeding requirements and sounded a bit flat on the last stage.
Hopefully got some recovery on the flight.

Another shorter day. and the increasing heat will not help.

Seen a post from a friend who is cycling in France at the moment. She has had 37 to 44C today. If I was Lael I would be making more use of the night. Now 221 miles behind virtual Mark.

When I did 400k in a day (once) during the 2022 heatwave I had to have a pint in Churchill pub!!

I would have stayed in the pub and had more pints. Too hot.
