Endomondo, a great site for recording workouts for almost any sport via direct mobile app or uploading your GPS results, run a series of virtual challenges each month, with various prizes on offer. I have been recoding data on the site for a year or so and "participate" in many of the challenges - "winning" some but always "competing".
Elsewhere I have crashed through 4000miles for the year and with the Norwich 100 2 weeks away am looking forward to putting the miles in the legs to some serious effort! An ever growing potential posse of riders, there could be 7 or 8 of us forming a peleton on the day.
Great weather continues, and although chilly starts are the norm, the wet stuf is still absent, just a bit gusty at times - but as this is Britain, what would there be to remark upon if we did not have variable weather?
In other news Horner wins Amgen Tour of California, a great week for Team Radioshack, with Levi in 2nd and Bertie looks to be on for the Giro (hoping that he is not retrospectively dumped for that steak incident). Sad but it almost looks like no one else has "turned up" for the race.
The death of Wouter Weylandts, during the 1st week of the Giro was devastating for the sport, and illustrates how ragile life is - there but for the grace of God. RIP WW108.
Elsewhere Tyler Hamilton has fingered Lance for EPO / doping and other shenanigans. Truth is I don't know, but i still find it hard to believe - Innocent until proven guilty is and should remain as the stand that is taken. The internet is alive with the Lance haters, but no-one is brave enough to stick their head up above the parapet in support - the story will run and run, but I for one hope that the legend continues.
