Tour de France/Tour de Fleece 2021 Stage 13

The Cycling: Stage 13 is 219.9km long and starts in Nîmes and ends in Carcassone. Today's route is heading west towards the Pyrenees and is the second longest on the tour and features just one categorised climb.  With 62km to go there was a crash towards the back of the peleton with some of the riders falling down a small ravine, at least one landed in a tree.  All got back up but 3 of them abandoned the race.  Mark Cavendish won the stage, equalling Eddy Merckx's record of 34 stage wins.  

Team Challenge: "We're past the halfway mark now, everyone!  If you've been spinning based on our little challenges you've probably got quite a bit of yarn around by now!

Today's challenge is all about finishing things off (like that trifle in the fridge, or that bar of chocolate in the cupboard).  If there are some things that need plying or some bobbins that need unwinding today is the day to get that done!".

What I planned to do and what I achieved:  I am still working on the Portland, boring and predictable, but I'm on a mission!  So, another skein finished, 239m so that's another 717m for the team total.
