Day 19 - St. Amand Montrond - Sennely / 139 km
Like before a trip through the beautiful French landscape. However the map didn't show a lot of hills, in real life the situation was quite different: several short and tough ascents and a lot of long, almost unnoticeable descents. The…

Day 18 - Neris les Bains - Neris les Bains / 150 km
While approaching Paris, the daily trips get a little less interesting. Today the time trial over 61 kilometres is planned. The real Tour rides from Montlucon to Saint-Amand-Montrond. Because of the planning, Derk hasn't done some kilometres on flat terrain…

Day 17 - Brive la Gaillarde - Neris les Bains / 207 km

Day 14 - Mauvezin (near Tarbes) - Luz Ardiden / 117 km

Day 12 - Perpignan - Ax Bonascre / 163 km
Because of the expected heat of today (up to 40 degrees in this part of France), Derk decides together with the rest of the team to start early. Derk, Frans and Wim are already up at 4.30 AM. They drive…

Day 11 - 500 kilometres, but not by rowingbike
Today everything is going very relaxed. No stage today, just a 500 kilometre trip to Perpignan. The journey there is best described as dull, extremely dull. De landscape changes from the green Alpes to a dry desert-like and flat terrain.…
