The Cycling: Stage 12 is 159.4km long and starts in Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux and ends in Nîmes. Today's route has just one category 3 climb and a long uncategorised climb before a downhill rush to the finish line. Nils Politt won the stage.
Team Challenge: "If you've ever been to Nîmes you've probably seen the stunning neo-classical gardens (Jardins de la Fontaine) which have been built around a natural spring. The gardens have been added to and repaired over the years to create an intriguing space of water, temples and trees.
On the topic of plants - today's challenge is to spin something containing plant fibres. Flax, cotton, hemp and bamboo are all contenders for this!".
What I planned to do and what I achieved: I'm not doing the challenge today, sticking strictly to my own goal and carrying on spinning the Portland. I have washed and dried the skein I spun 2 days ago but I have spun up a second skein today. There is a lot of lanolin in today's skein and you can feel the difference between the 2 skeins. Today's skein is 231m, which adds another 693m to the team total.
