Brompton has served me well enough in the prologue across London just now, but will be folded up and put away....in fact just like its owner later tonight......
Did indeed see stars...was close enough to them after climbing up seemingly all the local longer hills.
Claybush a rude start, Baldock to Weston steep, Barley to Gt Chishill a long one, Newsells the road went on forever (couple of local riders decided it was too much and turned around half way up). Plenty of others to keep us honest.

Won't make the prologue as some of us work on Fridays, rather than have a siesta.
Definitely there to carbo load and meet San Miguel and his amigos.
Should also make the Raid Pyrenean on Sunday. Need the training for Chilterns and Dragon rides.
Hasta Ma

Continued the Spanish theme at home with a cheeky couple of glasses of Rioja with the Flying Dutchwoman, in the garden watching the stars....

Compact gears required
Windmill just the taster on DJ hill
Just the 4 B's , no time for 5
It is great when it stops
Been to church to listen to opera
More highs to come,
Let the adventure begin
