This Sunday's ride got off to a late start after Ludo had begged the Saturday crowd to let the Sunday ride start at 9am. Interestingly, a text was issued at 8:16am Sunday declaring that Ludo was unfit to make an appearance. Something about a bug....
A windy lap of Gebbies, Teddington, Kiwi was embarked upon. Marco Pantani our very own master builder declared that he would be taking it very easy due to the recent encounter between a man in a mask with a sharp knife and his knee.
Fifty minutes later pushing into a very strong North Easterly up Gebbies Valley nothing is feeling very easy. Duclos is mumbling something about "don't you just love these headwinds? It's just like Flanders.." As we get on the hill Pantani accelerates in his "taking it easy" kind of way and Duclos settles into "I'll die before you drop me" mode. Just another Sunday morning.....
Congratulations to Greg Henderson for his stage win in Paris-Nice!
