Diary for London to Istanbul Part II: Paris 2 Munich (800km in 6 days)..

The ride finished on Friday September 26 2008 what seems an incredibly tough and fast 6 days in the saddle.

This diary will be uploaded with more pictures as soon as we receive them.

Saturday September 20th – We know we’re on the Eurostar to our departure point…

Problems with only one tunnel open so trains once every 4 hours rather than every 15mins! Arghh!! Early start…Robin Ellis, Kelton Turvey and Paul Stevens convene at ungodly hour of 6am – Paula and Patricia of last year’s team show up to demonstrate some TLC whilst having dropped out of the challenge.

It’s sunny in Paris too..

That was a long ride on the train – let’s have lunch!

OK - WE’RE READY. From now it’s only 800km to Munich

Sunday September 21th – Coulommiers to St Dizier (120km)…

This is going to be easy………

Home-toasted nuts by Paula – this should keep us going, and happy!

The following pictures are proof of our team cycling far and fast, and having plenty of breaks and good weather.

Thursday 24^th – “ this day almost finished us…Kelton’s words at 11pm! We’ve heard they’re flying, but making insanely long days …
