They may not have surfaced again since their feat at the weekend, but it seems the RCUK members taking on the Etape du Tour have very good reason to be in recovery. All seven riders finished the challenging Etape, and all with times to be proud of.
Blazing the RCUK trail was Adrian Davies, who, on his second Etape finished in 586th place with a time of eight hours, twenty-four minutes and eighteen seconds. Fantastic. Only twenty-four minutes behind him was Keir O’Donnell, with eight hours, forty-eight minutes and forty-five seconds, and in 1084th place. also coming in under 10 hours were James Hampshire (09h 03′ 48”) and Maurice Burton of De Ver Cycles (09h 45′ 41”).
