well i went on my 100 mile ride alone

well until i came across the jodrell bank sportive, and hung on to the back of a fast group for 65 miles

..and i just got back in time to watch the descent of the col d'eze.

good victory for gasparotto in the tirreno, i thought garzelli were going to do him

Chapeau dude! 100 miles on your own sure counts as 'manning up'. Sorry I couldn't make it, I went to a VW car show :roll:

Ditto. Well done Luke however next time please consider taking your dad with you as it'll save me having to push him up the gated road just above the Roaches. If manwithcam had been there he could've taken a photo!
