The Cycling: Stage 11 is 198.9km long and starts in Sorgues and ends in Malaucène. Today's route include a double ascent of Mont Ventoux and two category 4 climbs. Wout van Aert won the stage.
Team Challenge: "The finishing town today is Malaucène in the Vaucluse region; home of prime cherry production! Almost 4,000 hectares of cherries are planted here producing an annual harvest of up to 20,000 tonnes - that is a lot of fruit!
Today's challenge is to spin something fruity; it could be a cherry-red top, something named after a fruit or you could experiment with banana or pineapple fibre".
What I planned to do and what I achieved: I got back to working on spinning the Portland fleece that I combed. I spun the second single and plied with the first, giving me a sport weight yarn 107g/248m, which is another 744m towards the team total.
I have a really tenuous link to the challenge in that Portland has the name of the drink Port in it and Port is made from fruit...
