Only two more days in the mountains. Today's profile looks seriously scarey! Tour de France 2008
Cavendish gone home - but what potential for future years when he could hope to finish the course. |

Been going up the Alpe d'Huez for about ten minutes now. Less than fourteen kilometres - easy-peasy! After that just a quiet pedal back to Paris ...  |

Brilliant race today! Looks like it's going to all come down to the time-trial on Saturday!
Really enjoyed watching it live today - as always, the scenery in the Alps was just stunning. To climb THREE huge mountains required superhuman effort from all the riders. |

Have you never fancied this? L'Eroica - Cicloturistica d'epoca su strade bianche
When I worked for Brooks saddles we sponsored this and I attended twice riding a vintage Bianchi.
We took Richard Hallett, from road cycling UK, who finished the gruelling 200K of strade bianche.
It was a fantastic weekend and I can thoroughly recommend it |

Whether I fancy it and whether I could still do it are different matters!
Incidentally, your link is dead but it can be reached through "L'EROICA", cicloturistica d'epoca su strade prevalentemente sterrate Quote:
