Arrived at Park Monsieur where we regroup, about 4 miles from Champs élysées and Eiffel Tower for final ride in as a group.

Exhilarating ride for last 15-20 miles coming in to Paris suburbs and busy traffic - what a rush!!

Apologies to all of you who we're hoping for a Garmin Livetrack link: it appears Garmin's servers are not working with the livetrack function - didn't work on day 1 in UK so it's isn't a roaming/data problem.

Weather superb again day 3. Quick pace to first stop, up at the Thiepval Mormorial, Stopped a few miles further to take-in the panoramic views over the Somme.

Called into a cafe on outskirts of tonight's stop, had a couple of beers which after the heat of the day, most refreshing!!

Stick with the plan Paco, remember....

Well, day 2 all started to plan: Paco the Mule set off with his two new associates (who had quickly earned a reputation for being the pace-setters), out of Calais bound for Arras, at a blistering speed. Indeed, amost beating the support crew to the first water-stop. By lunch the lightening trio had refuelled and bounded off, as most if us were recovering in the sun.

Alas, Paco didn't keep with our cunning plan of burning-out the others, ready for me to "mysteriously" blitz the finish from out of nowhere. No, Paco had blown up before the last water-stop, and trundled-along with my group. all those months going through the plan, stocking with te plan, up in a whiff of Anusol aroma....

Massive thank you for all the donations that have come-in over the last couple of days, especially on Adams just-giving page, he's only got £50 to his min target.

Massive thank-you to Vickie for posting it all over twit-face yesterday - brought in a good number of donations, to close up the gap x
