The Cycling: Stage 3 is 182.9km and starts in Lorient and ends in Pontivy. Two category 4 climbs on the route today. There were a number of crashes towards the end of the stage, with one mid-peleton crash just 4km out from the finish line and a final crash bringing two riders down just 150m from the finish line. Tim Merlier won the stage.
Team Challenge: "The finishing destination for Stage 3 is Pontivy, a town with a lot of cycling heritage, a river and a canal. It has also had a bit of an identity crisis over the years having being called Pontivy (twice), Napoléonville (twice), and Bourbonville. 'Pontivy' harks back to a Lindisfarne monk named Ivy who built a bridge over the river (Pont d'Ivy or Ivy's bridge).
Today's challenge: spin something a bit watery. It could be Aquarius, Glitzy Ocean, something Aqua or a bolt from the blue. Extra kudos if you can produce a very tenuous link connecting your definitely-not-water-coloured fluff to water".
What I planned to do and what I achieved: I carried on spinning the second skein of Welsh Hill Speckled Face and finished plying it. I've measured it at 281m/125g, which means another 843m is added to the team final total. The most tenuous link to the challenge that I can come up is that sheep drink water.
