Only 2 more days till i head to France to follow the tour again,The excitement has been steadily growing and more so now that the race has started. My training has gone well and i feel I'm climbing better than ever thanks to a loss of 13kg!but i will need to be on top of my game when i look at the mountains we are to ride.
This year the tour route takes us over some iconic mountains including the tourmalet,luz ardiden and of course the alpe duez.
I will try to update my blog whenever the vagaries of french hotel wi fi connection will allow.
I must add a big thank you to all those that have phoned or emailed this week to wish me luck,it really means a lot to me,thanks.
Also i have to say that i would not be able to follow my dream if it was not for Diane's support.I realise that when I'm out on my bike each day it's only possible because Diane is there to carry on running the business and making incredible meals for me when i return, thanks mate.
I am asked by many people where i will be so they may see me on the side of the road but the short answer is ;who knows? we will be on the course somewhere each day,we don't know ourselves due to the huge crowds and where we are on the road when the gendarme stop us from riding to allow the tour to go past. so keep looking,you never know!vive le velo! viva Le tour DE France!
