What has 75 heads, travels at around 14 mph and will smell much better on 7th March?....... the Cycle to Cannes 2012!
So Andrew was out training in minus 7°C, what a trooper!
I decided that snowy Blighty was no place for clocking up the miles and have headed off to Fuerteventura for warm weather training! However, a better description might be “not so cold” weather training.
The Rider Briefing is on 22 Feb and I assume this is the one where they tell us that whilst drugs may have been banned in the TDF it will be OK for us! I cant see any other way of getting through the pain. I am part way through a book about Marco Pantani so I might pick up some tips!
Good news – the wind in France can’t be as bad as Fuerteventura but then there is clue in the name of the island!
Bad news – the weather in France will be much, much colder!
Good news – I completed three rides last week of the same length as a C2C stage.
Bad news – we have to complete six stages in a row!
Good news – I will be using my own bike for the C2C rather than a short frame, hire bike
Bad news – its only nine days before we start!
Wish us luck.
Neil
