Bernard Hinault knows nothing about cycling the lanes and back roads of Donegal but today we were happy to emulate (at least in our heads) some of the antics that would have been regarded as Hinaultesque in his heyday. Like cycling through a hedge and into a flood. Well, with only one day to complete the challenge, who cares?

The rain had decided to stay east so we were able to cycle shower free all the way today and the last section from Donegal provided some interesting terrain. Big Al set the pace (as usual) and was happy with his Strava average. Two long downhill stretches either side of Ballybofey gave everybody a bit of a thrill, especially Alyson who tucked in behind Jonty's arse. There's drafting and draughting. Guess which you get with the big lad? But he's still alive which is a bonus.
