You're a bad man

First sprint is done before 3km - if I scramble a couple of points there it'll be a nice relaxed ride after that, so not all lies!

I've got a new headset so should be able to go on discord again all being well

Had my first "cleat moment" in a very long time yesterday

As I came to a stop outside my daughter's house, I went to pull out my left foot and it wouldn't come out. I tried again with the same result and then ......... zero speed crash, toppling slowly to my left. I got the usual war woulds of a bleeding knee and bruised and scratched hip.

I thought the cleat must be worn, but for the rest of the day I had no issue with it. Strange

Last one I had , the cleat had lost 2 bolts so when I twisted foot , nothing happened - nothing beats the feeling of panic when A slow motion Fall is imminent

Rode the 8am edition of stage 2 L'Etape.
Nice course with some good scenery, pretty flat until the Petit KOM climb towards the end of the route.

I was going well until the climb on the second lap when I ran out of gas... 😉

Some images from the ride...

 

[berty bassett]

Also just done stage 2
You don’t realise how much the flats sap your legs till the little climbs come !

@IrishAl is the Team IRL League gonna use any of the new France 🇫🇷 courses in the summer series now that they're available...?

 

[Brendan Parker]

I can imagine that. I start my stage 2 soon, i try to take it easy and avoid compete with anyone. Despite of that my hr probably goes high anyway. Over 6000 riders so i should find many paces.

Stupid question from me, but is this a straight race after the neutralised roll out? TT bikes or normal bikes with drafting?
