Sorry for racing these - we are in the back room of a very nice fellow who runs a computer store in Falaise who has allowed us to use his computer. We got in to Falaise after another 101k day. not so many strong hills as yesterday. except for the last 30k or so.The country is incredibly beautiful and stunning. We ride through village after village. Managed to buy a camera this morning from a kind of ALDI store. It will do. Faliase is very medievil - the birth place and castle of William the Conqueror - we camped below his magnificent castle 12th century. More later.
We are doing fine and in great spirits. Bikes are good - I busted the seat post bolt at the airport putting it together, so had to ride with my knees hitting my chin until I found a little french man in a village with the right bolt.
To day a short 85k to St Lo - tomorrow is DDay. Julie has just said it is a "7 hills ride" today. She really is doing fine with the bike. More later.

G'Day Kev, I get to be the first to post a message :) Time to test all that Parramatta base training heh....BTW, using a public computer ? I thought Doug would have kitted you out with a satellite based Blackberry ;). Have a great ride and keep the stories coming. cheers Angus.
Kelvin,
This is sensational reading. Thanks for the snippets of life on the road. May God continue to reveal His gorgeous land. May the conversations come easily and sleep refresh your legs. Cheers, Julie :)
Go Julie, go !! (and Kelvin too, of course)
The amount of distance you are traveling in one single day is amazing! I'm glad you are enjoying yourself, and I prey that you stay safe the whole time you are in Europe.
Keep the updates coming!
Hey ya Big K,
What I wanna know is what goes through your mind when you see a hand unaccompanied in your hotel room taking off with your camera.........Glad you guys have another camera.....
I cannot believe you guys are riding so far everyday - I'm nearly working myself into a coronary just thinking about it. Don't worry - I ate some chocolate to counter the affects.
Hey can you let Julie know that pathology came through the other day and much to the doctor's amazement, it's all clear. She made me promise I'd post - so there it is. Just pills for a few months. YAY!
Well tell Julie to keep those little legs pumping - and I expect to see a picture of her new very short hair too!!
Hope you come into contact with another obliging little man soon. Enjoy the journey.

Hey Mum and Dad,
Glad to hear you are both doing well. Everything down here is great. Bad news about the Camera.... Was it mums good one? I have visions of dad chasing the guy down the street yelling "you have picked on the wrong guy this time mate" - Much like the famous Petersham stand off..... hahahaha.
118k's in a day..... I now have to go and have a lie down... I am tired just thinking about it... Great work guys.... That is awesome.
We have enjoyed reading the blogs this morning over breakfast. Keep em coming....
Stay safe and keep in touch.
PS Mum - You did not give me your tips for last week. I only have tips from this week on (which I have put in). Saints are battling big time. Beaten by ten goals last week against the Cats.
Love ya guys.
Keep on Truckin'
Doug & Alli
Hi, glad to hear your trip is going OK. I'm sure your weather is much warmer than here - it's cold, wet and windy and so much rain that Hunter Valley has been declared Natural Disaster Area over this long weekend.
Sorry to hear about your camera.
Looking forward to hearing more about seeing the battlefields. Love Dawn
June and I are at Brett's place having lunch. Brett got the Blog up for us and I read all your messages. Rang Katherine twice, got answering machine. Will try again. Glad your having a good time, we think of you daily.
God Bless.
Mum and June
Great going Kelvin,
Shame about the camera, however you are both safe, Praise God for His protection, Keep riding hard Julie and don't let the hills get on top of you after all they are just small obstacles to overcome as per life's journey.
Prayers are with you both, Greg (Hawkesbury)
Hey Mum and Dad,
glad to hear your both still going strong. Hear the tent is a bit soggy? good excuse to keep booking into B and Bs! We have had a stack of rain over here the past few days but Doug and I have been tough and Jackson has stayed outside where he belongs!
How about you give us a call sometime.
Love SJ
