Well from what I hear Tuesday went
well. All the lads are in good form and looking forward to today’s
climbs. As one wise cyclist said the best part of climbing a hill is
that you get to come down it on the other side. However after 4
category 3’s, 3 category 2’s and a category 1 today I wonder if
he will feel the same way about hills and I almost forgot its only
153k. I hope someone bought a LARGE tub of sudocrem.
One thing I forgot to mention in a
previous blog. Each and every one of these lads & ladies, have
put in significant efforts to get fit for this. That’s long hours
on bikes and trainers, they could only do this with the help and
support of their partners and families. So on their behalf I would
like to say THANKS.
While I’m in the mood for giving
thanks. I would like to mention an incident I witnessed on the
journey into Granard on Sunday. One of the cyclists having obviously
put in great effort earlier in the day was running out of steam on a
hill. Low and behold two other cyclists, one to either side put their
hands to his back and gave him a helping hand. Unfortunately I
couldn’t get a photo as I was driving but just to witness the help
given without request or compliment shows the generosity of the
majority of cyclists. They have big hearts, they are willing to help,
they are willing to put in the effort and we should be offering them
all the support we can.
Now on a lighter note can anyone
identify the legs in the photo? I will give you one hint. They do not
belong to a lady.
