Day 10 Rest day - 400 mile drive!

Hmmm, I expected the boys to be all happy and jolly having rested all day on the coach journey up to Brittany however, not so unfortunately (mind you it didn't help me winging on about not being able to print out some rail tickets I need this week. My new computer is so good I couldn't for the life of me find which particular phrase in the email to click on and that is on top of having to phone the TV arial man this morning to be talked through how to get ITV4 back so I can record the Tour de France for Nick to watch and reminisce over when he gets back and that is on top of phoning Zbys on Sunday to get all my computer libraries working again. I didn't realise I would miss Nick so much! Hope his machine is ok when he gets back because I pressed one hell of a lot of buttons trying to get the printer working and all that was needed was to click on 'get tickets' .........grrrrrr!)

Matt is now having trouble with his feet now which are swollen so he's back to the physio, but most people's would be I think after along journey like theirs today. My poor baby, he needs his mummy, I wish I could help.

Nick has filled in some more detail on previous blogs so have a look back.

Day 10. Transfer day by coach, a 400 mile journey leaving at 07:00.
We arrived in St Gildas just in time to catch the end of Stage 3 of the Tour on TV. Fascinating stuff and even more interesting to know that they did it twice as fast as our riders. The hotel was nice with an outdoor pool but the bikes needed to be washed, lubricated and Matt needed to change his brake pads after the wear they received on the descents through the Pyrenees. Tomorrow is a 193km route(120miles) from St Malo and we can do this from the hotel and no transfer is required so we get extra time in bed. Up at 06:30, breakfast at 07:00 then on the bike at 07:30.
