Day 2

Day 2 on LE JOG - we are all up bright and early, breakfasted and raring to go. No sore legs yet!

We had a great first day yesterday with weather in the mid 30's and fresh legs to spur us on.

The wind was so slight we had a debate as to whether it was a tail wind or a head wind - Alison always struggles with that one! We split into two groups of three for most of the ride along some pretty busy roads. Only one wrong turn for Alasdair (quickly corrected) otherwise we navigated our way no problem at all. We regrouped to arrive at the accommodation en mass to meet the two John's spread out on the grass sunbathing (anxiously waiting for us!)

The support crew did a great job, always appearing when we most needed them with water bananas and general encouragement. They had an eventful day in AB's car eventually managing to shut the sat nav lady up and playing with the various electric gadgets. John decided to do a scientific test between French and Italian cars and found that the wing mirrors on French cars are far superior - sorry Alasdair.

Bed for all by 10.30pm - how sad are we?
