Vicky cycled 147 miles last week - so is the very deserving recipient of the yellow jersey. She's been combining the gym (see her setup here for Friday eve!) with a turbo trainer, commuting and longer rides. A turbo trainer BTW is a handy gizmo that enables you to cycle on your own bike in the comfort (and light!) of inside.
Shaun did a very creditable 120 with a single ride of 70 - but he claims that his legs gave up at 60!
And Richard did 110 - very much back in the saddle after his injury.
You can see where we all are virtually on the map link.
George is leading the way though for total distance - he's now just outside Avignon and I think he'll get to Marseille this week virtually.
£1330 in sponsorship so far.
I turned a 4 mile commute into a 19.5 mile ride home by going via Winchester on Friday (evidence photo is to the right....).
And on Saturday, on a rather good little off road ride near Ellisfield, I managed to twist my knee as my bike got stuck in a very claggy muddy bit - the joys of a mountain bike. Hobbled the rest of the weekend, but it seems to be healing well. I'm applying the tried & tested technique of resting it for a few days - to be honest, if we weren't so close to the date of the challenge, I'd probably be cycling again by now, but I really don't want to be carrying an injury!
