It's now Monday morning and the team are now up and about, legs somewhat tired, and mentally we are very pleased not to be getting back on the bikes again today.
So lets rewind 24 hours.
We woke Sunday morning knowing we had an easy ride along the banks of the Seine and that we would be conquering the Tour D'Eiffel by lunchtime......... well how wrong we were.
Paris decided to steel Chigago's mantle of being The Windy City for the day and we battled for around 5 hours head long in to the wind to complete the 37 miles up and down hills - so much for an easy ride in to the capital.
However, the glimpses of the Eiffel Tower meant we were getting ever closer and the energy bars and Jelly Babies gave us a little extra boost to make it to the end. And so we arrived under the tower, the journey complete. Over 12 hours in the saddle and over 155 miles completed. A fantastic experience and all for a fantastic charity.
Now the challenge is over and all we have to do today is make it back to the ferry and on to Alresford - by car, thank goodness!
