Well in an early morning chat today with Brian, I took the time to remind him “if it’s not on Strava it doesn’t count”, however he seemed more concerned with getting his 4th meal of the day down and going to sleep for a while with the other 3 riders who were travelling close to him (no drafting rule remember).
The 3rd day has been very tough day with 10,000 foot of ascent in 189 miles all into a relentless headwind and on potholed tarmac only fit for the UK. It finished with a descent down a dirt road in the dark to get to tonight’s stopping point and pizza in Grangeville.
We also had a chat about the need to stay hydrated at altitude especially with the high point yet to come (and being higher than anything in Europe).
809 mile covered so far…
