In an attempt to butter me up before our Tour de Pyrenees, so I don't embarrass him riding over those French hills, Mick has made an appeal to my ego and published the hippy blog in his newsletter.

It's less than a week now before I head to France with the Croydon Cycle Works groupies. My "training" this weekend consisted of attending Jason & Lizzie's wedding (congrats you two!), drrnnknningg far too much, 5am bedtime and Sunday spent getting home (thanks Gabe & Ang) and catching up on Le Tour.
