Tour de France/Tour de Fleece 2021 Stage 4

The Cycling: Stage 4 is 150.4km and starts in Redon and ends in Fougeres.  The lady who caused the big crash on Saturday, Stage 1, has still not been found. Virtually flat terrain today. The riders staged a bit of a protest with regards to safety and how many big crashes have occurred already in the form of a go-slow at the start of the race. Mark Cavendish won the stage.  

Team Challenge: "It is a flat stage today as the riders travel 150km from Redon to Fougères with a speedy section in the medieval town of Vitré.  Of course, no medieval town is complete without its own fairy-tale castle and Château de Vitré is it.

Today's challenge is to spin your favourite fibre; the fluff that you have been coveting, the top that you can't stop touching.  Now is the time to make your dreams come true!".

What I planned to do and what I achieved: Once again, I am not doing the challenge but I spun all day to finish up the Welsh Hill Speckled Face and the last skein is a little less than 125g but is 280m, which adds another 840m to the team total (280m for each single, there's of 2 of them, and then another 280m for the ply).  I've washed all 3 skeins and they are now on the hanging drier.
