18th June
Arrived in Compiegne, c 250 miles from Blackheath. Les's gloomy weather forecast mostly correct + am v grateful to Paul for overshoes. Some big hills on first day in Kent and also yesterday surprisingly. Nice route on v quiet roads. Went through Somme cemeteries + stopped at Thivault war memorial, so didn't think my afternoon of rain + wind on a bike really
compared with other suffering that particular landscape had witnessed.
Anyway, demain Paris!
22nd June:
Back in Cambridge now after a wetter and windier ride to Paris than I had
bargained on when I booked to go on the mid June date,
Despite the wind and rain, the ride was fun and I was
pleasantly free of aches and pains by the time we reached Paris. There
were over 50 of us doing the ride, ranging in age from 21 to 71 and,
fuelled up with huge quantities of bananas, flapjacks and pasta we all
made it to Paris. So far I have raised over £2600 plus £600 in gift aid.
This is loads more than I ever expected to raise and I cannot tell you how
grateful I am to everyone for their support!
Chris
