There were certainly some good and bad days on the bike during this first week back from holidays. Interesting to note that Pizza the night before the 3 peaks ride, subsequently saw me last up each and every climb.....funny that!



The learjet on his trusty new steed (KOM - Cannondale six13) proved that age is no barrier to acheivement. His strength on the flats was legendary and his time at the front of the peleton each day meant each of the 500km was earnt .............. Euro hardcore cyclists know how to ride!



“pain is temporary, failure lasts forever...” Lance Armstrong


Great quote. Great shot. Great ride. Great 500km. Great mates... Loving it all!

Thanks to all who joined us for rides along the way. Your company and competitiveness made each ride another one to remember.

Can't wait to start TDC 08............bring it on!

Ride safe
