The starting point for day 3 after a night hosted by 1 Rifles. Some decent sized hills have been conquered today, the team are in good spirits and the weather has been good also which took us up to our lunch break provided by our support team.....thanks guys, much appreciated, however not long after lunch Gav decided to throw himself off his bike and destroy a pretty important item, namely one of the breaks! Despite this, moral remained high and the guys cracked on in true Airborne fashion......obviously! All in all it has been a really awesome day, the team smashed 104 miles today and broke the 100 mile barrier in 6 hours, doing the next 4 in 18 minutes. The max speed was 53.3MPH AVG Speed 16.4 MPH. A few dramas on route with Gav coming off his bike much to the amusement for the rest of the team, which cost him £48 to get it repaired; the only thing that hurt was his pride. The team are now in Dale Barracks in Chester, Fed, watered, washed and on there second baths. Looking forward to the next leg in the morning Day 4 Whitchurch Windermere.
