Phone blog again. Another very long day. Finished up at 122km, over 100km of which were in teeth of strong headwind. Again. At least was warm and sunny, but we have certainly offended the wind gods in Italy. Started with 200m climb so that Cat could do a hill. She did the whole day – and she’s not on a fast road bike. She’s on a borrowed hybrid bike which is way too big for her. Not surprisingly she was exhausted by the finish. Her last day as she and Lisa are heading home on Saturday. Rest day for Joe and Frankie which we are ready for. Some big climbs to come.
Day 20 Riva del Garda to Bolzano

Glad to see your still going strong.We take our hats off to Cat,a real Tiger! Hope you get some rest today.
Lots of luv, Mum and Dad
Ridingfordebora team C did the Exe estuary today. From Countess Weir Exeter via Topsham, Lympsham, tea at Exmouth, ferry to Star Cross, hearty lunch at Turf Lock Inn, then back up to Countess Weir. Probably 3 hours max in the saddle, quite enough for me (Min)! A slightly smelly cross wind on the way down, a slight headwind on the way back up. One of us was on his old town bike and had to be whined at regularly – ‘wait for me!’ We wore the shirts proudly and willed you on. Have a good evening and a good rest tomorrow. Congratulations Cat – you’ve done so well we’re very proud of you. And Becca, we’re not forgetting you either – it was a great comfort knowing you were a phonecall away if required, keep the home fire burning.
Love Min, Paddy and monsters x
