Under 3 weeks to the Norwich 100, and may do a fundraising ride next weekend for Voice for change, cycling 39 miles around the Wensum Valley

In other news, the Giro is under way, with crashes spicing up the first couple of stages in the Netherlands. Wigo in pink day 1, but then falling victim to the crashes, Evans, Vino swapping the maglia rosa until Liquigas stored the TTT, and then Evans wins a stage on a hideous rain and mud soaked day yesterday with vino grabbing back pink. Millar in 3rd. First Mountain stage today - watch GC change again.

Tour of California kicks off today - watch Cav and HTC blast their critics, letting his legs do the talking - also watch out for Big George and The Shack too.

Curry night tomorrow and plenty of miles planned for the week. More next time...

Training Update Week 18

75 days to go to the start - reality sinking in.

A great week - where do i start?
Mileage not awesome but consistent at 203miles, longest day in saddle at 52 miles that's a massive 2988 for the year to date.

Quiz night fundraiser was a great success with fundraising jumping to an equally massive £1,658.24!

But maybe best of all is the Giro prologue result - First Grand Tour for Team Sky, and first stage win. Wiggo blitzes the Prologue TT course and ends up in the Maglia Rosa (Pink Jersey) see below:

That's 2 years running with a Brit in pink after stage 1! Sky now need to defend the jersey for a day or two before the TTT where they will look to win again!

More next week...
