Iโve said this many times before but for me itโs not a case of โwaking upโ when Iโm camping itโs a case of when to stop trying to make an effort to get back to sleepโฆ) and was packed by 8am. My official campsite advisor Tim Sanders (who until only a few minutes ago was my โunofficialโ campsite advisor but as nobody else has offered their services, Iโve upgraded him to the honorary post; itโll give him something to chat to Ed Pratt about the next time they meet at their local Park Run in Somerset. Anyway, back to the pointโฆ) โฆMy official campsite advisor Tim Sanders messaged at 8:05 asking โHave you met Geoff?โ

As predicted a few weeks ago here on CyclingEurope.org (10 Things To Know Aboutโฆ La Vuelta A Espaรฑa), Chris Froome did indeed win the Vuelta. OK, it wasn’t a difficult prediction to make and anyway, I was merely quoting the predictions of those with greater knowledge at Cyclist.co.uk. […]
Very often when you look back upon events of the past, they seem to have happened only very recently when in fact they took place many years ago. I have the opposite sensation about the 6th July 2014 as the events of that particularly momentous day appear (in […]
A few weeks ago, as the Tour de France made its way across the French countryside, I had the opportunity of visiting the Dordogne region of France courtesy of the organisers of the Tour de Yorkshire, Welcome to Yorkshire. If this is news to you (or you have […]
