Nature Valley - Stage 5

The 5th stage of Nature Valley was a 91 mile road race. - A big, long, tough day out at any time, but especially when suffering from a horrendous cold as Laura and Anna are. However, all the girls hung in there and Kate is still wearing the green amateur jersey, with a 6 second margin, going into the last stage of the tour....and of courseshe is determined to keep it!
The race ended with a tough, hilly finishing circuit which was a big ask for the girls with colds - Anna gallantly hung in with the front bunch of elite climbers until the last lap. Laura helped Kate to keep contact with the rider sitting second in the Amatuer classification, and they all crossed the line exhausted.
Kate now sits in 19th on General Classification, Anna 22nd and Laura 23rd.
One stage to go.
