So Team Radioshack have a Pro Tour Licence - excellent! Team Sky, still to announce another 6 riders - rumour mill still revolving on that one!
Gilbert tops off his season with back to back wins in Paris Tours & Gran Piemonte.
Only 259 days till the start of the TDF in Rotterdam - what am i going to do till then? Loving the look of the route - cycling brains needed for first week in the cobbles and definite legs / engines for the end in the pyrenees, although why is there another valley finish allowing all the gains to be chased down? No Alpe d'Huez but Col Du Tourmalet twice, plus a summit finish can't be bad.
Only 3 days cycling this week so vastly reduced mileage - starting to get dark as well, so rain and sludge soon to follow. Have purchased and fitted some Crud Road Racer mudguards, to alleviate some of the road spray etc from the forthcoming inclement weather, plus gained (not sure if that's the right word) a slow puncture mid week which was a definitive pain in the proverbial.
note that NABC saturday rides starting from thepub on the corner now fit with my days off so will be venturing out on some of those pre christmas, plus a couple of Audax rides look interesting too so who knows. Norwich 100 date has been published - June 6th so diary has been highlighted / ringed in red etc.
A potential 6 days cycling lined up for the week ahead so should / could achieve some decent mileage again for this next week - its all good.
