Wow
It was so exciting to watch Le Tour pass through Kent, and past the end of the street where B's grandad lives in Canterbury .. He had the good sense to toddle his 92 year old frame down there and declared it to be "rather fantastic" .... we wish we could have been there with him. All our trips to France start with a stay with Faff and he knows we love Le Tour.
David Millar did such a great solo-ride, I think he really meant it when he said he rode up front to thank the British public for turning out in huge crowds along the way to cheer on the cyclists. He managed a great personal feat and clearly enjoyed it all the way. It was a real bonus that he got on the podium with the King Of The Mountains Jersey!
It is a BIT sad cos me and B would have soooooooo BEEN THERE yesterday and today if I was not too weak to embark on that sort of jaunt ... but I've enjoyed it on the telly and been very pleased to see an international crowd of fans out lining the route on both days
allez allez allez!!
Vive Le Tour

Love the splash-flash, especially "La Toft" cyclist extraordinaire. David Millar ok but meh - give me Robbie McEwan anyday - go you little beauty.

ah - are you partisan for the Aussies? He IS lovely and just blistered it across the line in Kent ...
Yesterday's crash looked painful, there will be a few nursign injuries in the peleton today ...
In the flahsy gif thingy - that photo of me was taken around the lower reaches of Mont Ventoux last year .. the one of B is her cresting near the top of the same mountain. The propped up bikes are Armstrong's team one day in Frane, 2002, when we found ourselves outside their team hotel, totally by chance!
which part of the anatomy is the peleton?
Oh Julie, you will get 100 lines!
"I must not mock Le Tour her in doors will make me sore!"
Keep your chin up Pet and save your energy for next year when you can cheer them on.
Has Malc supplied your L'Equipe yet?
Hugs Ruby n Roxy
