No training for a week or so (I seem to write this a lot...). I did go to spin last Monday which was really tough after 115km over the weekend. But i'm glad I made the effort. Beth went into hospital on Tuesday for her back operation. This dominated the week and I didn't even think about training. It was a big op and its going to take a while for her to get over it. She's home now and up and about and eating, so the signs are good. Bless her.
I trained vicariously through the Tour of California. I sat up each night to watch the live coverage on Eurosport, although I missed two stage finishes by falling asleep. Overall I enjoyed the race, it was good to see Cav win a couple of stages (except I didn't because I was asleep!) and there was some good racing. It always makes me a little sick watching the professionals though because they ride at speeds I find difficult to maintain in the car let alone on the bike.
Plans are coming together for the Paris trip. Although we need to work out how to get to the start in Greenwich for 6:30am and how to get home from Paris with our bikes (I'm not cycling back too). The route has been published and here it is. Anyone fancy coming along for the ride?
Day 1 through Kent to Dover:
Day 2: Calais - Arras:
Day 3: Arras - Compiegne:
Day 4: Compiegne - Paris:
