With a week to go the Wayfarers Wheelers were split again. Chris had a family commitment on the Sunday so did a 42 mile ride on the Saturday in the very warm and windy conditions. The route consisted of a ride up the valley to Lambourn, up the hill at the end and then back via Hungerford and Kintbury. On Sunday, the other three; Simon, Steve and Pete went on a slightly longer 50 mile ride to Wantage and back.
Watching the Tour de France stage up to Avoriaz on the TV made worrying viewing as some big names were cracking under the strain of the climb and the heat. Tourmalet is much higher and longer and the forecast is hot!
Oh well ,we can't do anything now but rest and prepare for the big event on Sunday. The bikes leave on Thursday and we leave via EasyJet from Bristol to Toulouse on Friday morning.
Everyone has new tyres, chains and various other bits of kit. All we have to do now is get there.
Thanks to all of you who have followed our blog.
The next post will be after the event.
