Some photos

Celebrating at the top of an amazing Pyranees climb with Jess. Then time to descend and do it all again!

We made it up Col de Tourmalet!

Hazardous descent down the Tourmalet!

At the end of probably my toughest day on the bike I was awarded the chapeau (daily award to a person displaying the spirit of the tour). A great honour.

Time Triallers, Team Ovaries. Celebrating a job well done, and that Renee didn't sustain any major injuries. Yay!

The three female lifers getting ready to set out for a few extra kms in aid of clocking up the Rapha #womens100. Thanks so much to Phil for your support. Legend.

I made it to Paris.

The sun sets on my Tour de Dugong experience.

Woop woop! Message from Mum on day t+1, done and dusted, no need to ride today.
