so i am enjoying the giro so far this year. unfortunately it is not for a very sportsman like reason. i am enjoying that wiggo isn’t going well. all the expectations and bluster of how the super team will blow the race apart haven’t materialised and we now have a domestique higher up the standing than the team leader. fair enough, he has been sick on the climbs, but descending like a wuss didn’t help his chances. it is also good to see cadel going well. i am embarrassed to say that during the last big mountain stage i was expecting him to falter and waiting for him to fail. luckily he proved me wrong and was there to the end. this weekend involves a couple of big mountain stages, so i am looking forward to a lack of sleep again.
armadale kermesse – we now have enough volunteers for this race as per the previous post. thanks for all that volunteered. we have good numbers racing the event as well.
spr boot camp – starting next week, a bit of cross training is being offered to keep you fit over winter. see the previous post for details.
ride routes – some big logistics problems this sunday as there are a number of events on that we don’t want to come across during our hills ride. firstly the armadale grand fondo rules out anything around roleystone then the bwa cyclosportif rules out anything around mundaring, observatory area. at the end of the day, we cannot totally avoid them, so just be aware of other road users.
