Day 5 complete with 98.38 miles going up and down hills. Hit 40.3 mph going down hill, so glad I brought  a spare set of brake pads! Today was awful with relentless winds against you all the way to the hotel completing 5982ft of climbing!
Today was full events. The day didn't start well for Jason, he had a puncture over night. Secondly, we saw plenty on animals on the road from sheep, a chicken and a rabbit. 'Why did the chicken cross the road? To crash into cyclists'. A chicken almost crashed into a group when going downhill. Luckily it was fine. Thirdly, Andre Morrison's vintage bike had a puncture going down hill with a massive BANG! It took over an hour to get equipment and spares from the support van.! Overall the whole cycle ride was exhausting and we all need a rest.
Tomorrow will consist of more climbing than today! It's going to be painful!
