Day 2 - Calais to Reims

Longest day today - 320km. Not sure anyone has managed all of it, but def some who did 5 of 6 stages totalling around 270km + an extra 15km as we went the wrong way at one point! Myself? A respectable 175km today. Looking forward to dinner as starving! Great day though. Chilly and icy start turned into glorious sunshine with a tail wind - not a cloud in the sky as we sped at speeds averaging 26km/hr through a beautiful rolling countryside where the roads stretched out before us. This is what its all about :-) A few falls, but nothing serious - and a few aches and pains keeping the lovely SMART girls (Zara and Alison) busy. Thanks girls for taking care of us! Bring on tomorrow...
