A family run was on the agenda for this morning as there were some strava segments to be done. The sun was very hot by 9 am the forecast was for temperature up in the 30s again. We did think about going to watch the elite athletes but another day in hot Geneva was not very inviting so we opted for a trip up a gondola. The views were outstanding Lake Geneva one side and after a bit of trekking there were views of Mont Blanc on the other side. Luckily it was a shad...

Graham met another trathlete on the campsite and they decided to travel on the 7.30 bus into Geneva. An early start with number tattoos applied , sun cream on and pre race breakfast. I delivered them to the bus stop and went back to see if there was any other signs of life at base camp. Slowly the campers emerged and prepared themselves for the day ahead in the hot sun, We failed to get to the bus stop by 10am as planned so had to wait another half ann hour. The...

Graham had to register and do a team photo this morning, so I opted to stay in the village.

I couldn't buy too much as I had to carry it up the hill so I had to wait for Graham to come back with the car to do a beer and wine shop. The family were arriving tonight and expected the fridge to be well stocked. We returned to Geneva i...

The wind really got in the night , and no sun this morning and I even had to find a jumper it's about 20 degrees which is nearly 20 degrees lower than yesterday no wonder we feel chilly, still it's ideal for a run . There are lots of trails around the village so we managed a few gentle miles..We then decided to try the pool out but a water aerobics class was going on so we had to do widths and then we found out it wasn't really open for everyone until...

Having a very noisy road outside our open window wasn't ideal, but we managed to sleep OK. The previous campsite had been under the flight path for Luxemboug Airport. I wonder what tonight's campsite will have in store? We had breakfast included with our room so we were nearly first there at 7.30 am so we could make an early start. There was still gear tweaking to do but we waved the tandem riders off at about 9 am and we drove off at the same time. 5 min...
