Day 10 Cottbus to Bad Duben

Great and eventful day. Cold start, hence being in full kit below by yet another dreaded section of cobbles.

The morning continued through my favourite terrain: pine forest.

But then something happened that we never thought would ... Jim, The Beast, The Butcher, fell off. Thankfully at v low seed, but still enough to draw blood on his finger. 
True to the legend he was back up and cycling in a flash, telling us to stop worrying, "I'm absolutely fine". Respect.!

After lunch, Tom #captaincalamity bust hid cleats which meant a long wait forthe van to find us.

That left us a lot of cycling and we really took it up a gear and hammered out a good rhythm of 22 mph. Riding close in a group at that speed is fantastic and Ben loved it so much he burst into a sprint after 90miles to take the lead.

Proud to be in Team Zoe and making every mile count for freedom. If you haven't given please do. It's after midnight now so gotta sleep; several days of 90 miles now. Pray for no head winds. Night.
