Sorry, can't do a road ride next Sunday as we have a MTB ride planned. I will certainly be organising something for the weekend after though, we thoroughly enjoyed the ride today, as said earlier, the miles absolutely flew by _________________ Big wheels keep on turning, Carry me home to see my kin..............

It was the most incredible thing I've ever done. Going over a climb that's over 8000ft is unbelievable. I amazed myself (and a few others) by doing Alpe d'Huez with two gears left . . . and I only had a 25 cassette on the back. _________________ Life's too short. Then you die

Got stronger as the week went on which surprised me a bit as I thought I'd be knackered. Best day was Friday when we did Lauteret, Galibier and Alpe d'Huez all in the same day . . . with over 100km of riding between the three of them. Started in Switzerland, went into France, rode across the border into Italy for a couple of days and then back into France. I feel like a proper cyclist for the first time in my life. _________________ Life's too short. Then you die
