Hi folks, I hope you’re all fine..

Just a short note to inform those amongst you who cycle in the Tour CycleChat Group, that I am not renewing my subscription right now (due this week). I am not using it at all much these days however, will probably return later in the year with a new Tour.

Keep in touch with yourselves

Jim

Now I picture you roaming the highlands with a muted bagpipe playing softly in the background with a far away look. In reality probably injecting knotweed canes...
Will miss you on the bike but wait for your return in the fall.

Words like the bard, couldn't have put it better.

43km downhill tonight?

43km downhill tonight?

Yes, the same one as we did on stage 1 in April. It’s a 45-50 mimute effort depending on your weight and/or who you draft.

I’ll start it tonight.

I'll sit behind you, thx! Or even perhaps do a turn or two if I can. @BILL S you in the grupetto?

I will try to stay with the groupetto but I usually struggle on these long downhills and get dropped. I'll try though.

Well I won't be firing out of the blocks and trying to keep 100rpm... 80 rpm should do

Ok I'm with you then

Looks like the grupetto has formed even before the off. I'll happily try to work together and let the big boys hammer down at stupid speeds. I think we worked together quite well on this one last time @BILL S and a third wheel will be most welcome @shimceltic. I'll try to come to the front whenever the gradient eases or, God forbid, i seem to remember it actually climbs a little towards the end.
