LEAH - After Stage 1

Wow, what a day! We had everything from city scapes to pastures with windmills and ancient fortress walls. I was able to cycle with Claire through the first aid station, then catch up with Russ for the third and fourth, the halfway point, where I waited for Claire. We hung together until just before the 6th. She looked very strong and was closing the gap so I cycled up in time to see both Seckers finish. It was a lovely day. I'm having some gear shifting issues and hope to find a bike shop tomorrow. Everyone says the route is even nicer than today's. Go Claire and Russ!
