Catching up with Tom and Ray at the Etape Caledonia. Tom talked me through what to do if you have a bike crash in downtown San Francisco, as he’d just done. I may have over emphasised his beat up look, but not by much. The next day we thrashed round the 81 miles in the wind and the rain. Tough if you like cycling in the sun, perfectly fine if it’s the grit in cycling that you like.
Before that, a coffee and a sketch to mark the first time all the kids have gone swimming without me.
I think Lager Loading can lead to Bonking! I hope that translates well from Canadian-speak to UK speak … If not, it may be pretty humourous.
Hi Michael, the international language, and reality, of cycling I think! Sandy
