Massive milestone broken this week - see post below, weather on the whole has been awesome, if not a tad on the warm side, excepting the drenching I got last Tuesday, on with the stats:
205 miles done this week, thats a big 5053 for the year to date! Longest day in the saddle 54 miles. Weight according to my friend the Wii Fit is around 11st 3lbs, with my age consistently stacking up sub 30 - can't be bad?
Also had a week of "cross training" this week, helping to deliver a sports based activity in a local high school for 30 plus teenagers for four days - in a word - Knackered!
L2P24 pack should be with me any day....
Sponsorship up to £2,110 plus around £50 to come from the local school too, also I have bought a 2nd hand bike bag from eBay, complete with wheel bag to protect the trusty steed on the return from Paris.
In other news:
England Football Team - FAIL
Andy Murray - FAIL
England Cricket Team - SUCCESS
British cyclists - JURY OUT -
yes the TDF is upon us, after 11 months of anticipation, The prologue was on Saturday in Rotterdam, with Spartacus doing what comes naturally, Lance placing 4th ahead of Bertie. WigGO became more of a WigNOGO, after a disasterous tactical decision to switch start time for his prologue run - right in the middle of a downpour.Stage 1 promised much with Cav eying up his 11th stage win in 3 years, but after crashing on a sharp right hander, his race was done, two further pileup's occured to gift the stage to Petacchi, with Renshaw taking 2nd. - Thought the carnage was due on stage 3? Oh well. Classics type routes and cobbles over the next couple of days should keep the excitement up.
