I'm sure your eyes are better than my German so that'll be right lol. Whatever it was it was great fun. Not so much on the flat home but gravel hairpins up a little mountain was fantastic.

Hi Tommy
Velo Vercors that we were going to.
Guy in my club is 60 this year and invited a group of us to join him and his wife. We're all going with our non cycling partners. My wife can't wait!
Can't decide about the Cingles. May start and just see how I feel.
I went out to do it around 5-6 years ago and got stomach cramps the night before. Didn't think I'd manage one ascent but managed the Malaucene side and descended to Bedoin. Got about 7km up from Bedoin and just completely died and limped home around the side of the mountain, where the road peaks at about 480m.
In some ways its like unfinished business. In other ways. I don't want it to dominate the week and detract from all the other rides and the social side of things. So, I think I'll probably just see how I feel on the day and not make it into a big thing.

I think I’ve done 1 ride over 50 miles long this entire year!
Mad the way things turn out really… you might just have to get used to me nattering away in your ear though I’m afraid!
So let me predict something.
Tommy goes chasing after Lee and after 50 miles drops away, Bob finishes strong and overtakes Tommy towards the end, Lee is in the bar already.

Apparently Lee will do anything to avoid buying a round 😃

As I said to Tommy the other day all the recent studies suggest Tommy has conducted an almost perfect training regime. 1hr minimum Z2 5 days a week, 1 or 2 HIT sessions otherwise known as balls out races. No wonder his ftp went through the roof in Austria recently. He has only missed out on the longer rides at the weekend. So, fortunately, I dont expect to have him nattering away in my ear. ( reminder to self-pack in-ear buds, just in case
)
