Here are Leo’s Facebook notes at the time …. pleased also to add that Esme is now Mrs Maliphant 🙂

Challenge 2 started at 7pm last night, I made it to the ferry, got a little sleep and now the hard work is about to begin.
Next stop Paris (time remaining 11 hours)…

Challenge 2 complete! It took the best part of 24 hours but I made it just in time to meet Esme Spencer [##49531] off the train.
150+ miles, 9 hours on a boat plus I lost an hour changing time zones.
My legs have barely recovered from RideLondon but they held on to make it all the way from snoozy Cheriton to bustling Paris.
Now we’ve just got to enjoy a bit of well earned sight seeing.

Start time: 19:00 in Cheriton (British time)
Finish time: 18:16 at the Arc de Triomphe (French time)
