Sticky Sunday

Gloriously hot cloudless Sunday in the Ashdown Forest. Chores of gardening and barbecuing out of the way, I was able to get out in the afternoon for a 80 minute blast around the roads of the forest - quite a few of which are having much needed resurfacing repairs. Was still very hot and sticky, with quite a gusty breeze in places. Came up behind a group of 5 riders cycling in formation near Haywards Heath and greatly enjoyed shooting straight past them and out the front - Admittedly they did seem to be taking things rather easy!

Returned to watch the nail biting Giro finish between Memchov and Di Luca - Menchov deservedly winning it by less than a minute after falling heavily on the cobbles of Rome in the last kilometre of the finale time trial. Looking forward to see Lance and the others in action in the Tour in just over a month.
