DAY 5 - LAST AFTERNOON

....Villebrumier bound- all togged up for Tornado and rain!
Sally's v pro' footwear protection may catch on eventually as might my rather special supermarket bag as bike bag cover and of course the trusty 'shower cap' for mini bag on front of bike 🚲 We are sooo pro πŸ˜‚
The rain & wind duly arrived; people and activities along the canal disappeared- except for fishermen and ducks and the odd strange looking cyclist packed upto the gills and dressed for deep sea trawler fishing- wonder if they know something we don't?
V heavy,nay let's be honest...torrential rain subsided after a v long time? dried off as belting along now as wine o'clock drawing closer.
Off the canal ( thank the lord as hoo ha in serious trouble πŸ˜‰)
Ali: 'only 20 km to do just over this hill - the last hill!'..... and what a mother of a hill to finish on. Not sure what to compare it to?? Something on the Tour de France perhaps?.....not that it's a competition or anything but the results were as follows:
Fran- GoldπŸ₯‡
Helen-Silver πŸ₯ˆ
Ali- Bronze πŸ₯‰
Judith- copper (v happy with that 😁)
Anne Sally & Cath- Oxygen tanks πŸ˜…....
All did amazingly to get to top πŸŽ‰πŸ›πŸ†
After regaining consciousness & standing up 😜Race to the finish- the sight of the beautiful blue bridge and knowing the warm welcome that awaited us made pedalling up the little 'brew'
a little easier !!!!
But where was Glenn?
Alison eventually roused him (so to speak- a little tricky thru the garage door πŸ˜‰cheeky!) Tea was made, bottles were opened, the kitchen abounded with hysteria and madness then we went to bed.
The End
.... well not quite- we had an amazing supper, lots of collapso, all v pleased with selves.... then we went to bed πŸ›ŒπŸ˜΄πŸ˜΄πŸ˜΄πŸ˜΄πŸ˜΄πŸ˜΄πŸ˜΄ THE END X
