A rude awakenening at 6am, saw us back on the ferry for 7.30. This time we were sailing to Grainville as part of an orgnised bus trip to see the time trial.

It's going to be strange tomorrow to have to go back to work, and not back to the tour. I proper loved it, and can't wait to do it all again.. next year in Yorkshire.

Not ideal prep :((((

Some nice things...
Apr. 11th, 2013 07:36 pmMatti Breschel article here, photos here. These are courtsey of the very lovely Dancing on the Pedals blog. I am soo jealous.
Fun Bernie short clip of the day here. It's bongotastic, but who is he playingwith on?
We've all marvelled at Fabian Cancellara and all the other top finishing riders at Paris Roubaix this year. But sometimes the real heroics take place at the back of the peloton. Read this beautiful Rouleur article about the Lanterne Rouge at this year's race. It's why I love cycling and I would like to say bravo to Chris Juul Jensen from TST. His tweeting is funny too. Lastly, here's a video about all those who didn't quite make it through Hell this year. It's sad and evocative, but also a a bit creepy.

Paris Roubaix
Apr. 7th, 2013 04:49 pmOMG epic race. So much more exciting than RVV last week. Here is my top 10

My little heart is singing, they are soon the phone ALL the time.
My little heart is singing, they are soon the phone ALL the time.
1. The knocking of Team Sky. I may not always like their style, but I do believe they are clean. And no, that is not just because I am English speaking, or that they are an English team, or that I wear rose coloured glases, or that I am a fan girl whose views must therefore be suspect.The sight of lycra has not addled my brain!
2. The bullying of Andy Schleck. He has problems and demons to face. Give him the privacy and space he need to do this, and give him respect for trying.
OK, off my soapbox now

Come on Andy
Feb. 28th, 2013 09:43 amOK, Andy Schleck is back on a bike today at the GP Camaiore. Come on everyone send the guy some good, positive vibes - we need him back on bike and cycling well. Well, back on his bike for a whole day would be a good start.
FEEL THE LOVE ANDY....
ETA 13.55. Andy has been dropped by the peloton, but he's still there on his bike with 20km to go. Come on Andy, you can do it.
ETA 15.00. Rumour has it, Andy has completed. Still waiting for the official results but I'm calling it now.
THREE CHEERS FOR ANDY...
