Rain for day 3

Rain greets us on day 3 as we drive to the start line and assembles
the bikes.

The mood is mixed and tummys are tuckered up.

Day 2 report

So, here we are at Lat:+49.209716 Lon:-0.327075 Acuracy:+/-43 yards in
the hotel at Caen, day 2 was "eventful". We had a little rain when we
left Cherbourg, followed by strong winds and then baking hot sunshine,
everybody, including Norman found it tough but very enjoyable.

We have a new Purple Helmet rider, some bruises (Moi?), 2 broken
spokes and some inflamed knee tendons along with some very tired
muscles.

Breakfast is at 7 and we ride for 8, I wonder if pasta is on the menu?
