On the menu there were three mountain legends, the Col du Galibier 2600 mètres, Col d’Agnel 2744 mètres and the fabulous Col d’Izoard. 2300+ mètres. I know that cycling has bad press but frankly for me it knocks the life out of football. No violence,no slaging off other cyclists,just mutual respect and solidarity during the effort. Thoroughly recommend it for youngsters... or the not so young!
Hi Frenchy, when the ref gives 2 penalties to the opposition and most of the 50/50's you know we ain't gonna win. Still glad you had a nice weekend cycling, its pretty big over here now too. You must have noticed the Tour de France and both the Spanish and Italian national races were won by British riders. The first any country's riders have done that.
