Four mountains
in one stage and I admit I hit a wall just like Cadel. But I did successfully
climb two of the mountains and thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular views.
For Stage 12, une
invité special, Kate, took the saddle for the premier half of the Stage. She
whinged a lot, adjusted the seat and pedals out of position and drank champagne
while on my machine. Honestly, I regretted letting her interrupt my Tour. But
watching from the couch was a truly decadent luxury.
I rode to the
finish with the break away and was tres impressed with Millar but not so with
the race officials and their relegation of Gossy for apparently straying from
his line to cut Sagan off in the final sprint. It is a gross injustice
to Gossy and I am angrily waving my hands with much more indignation than Sagan.
But I am sure this will make Gossy, and me, even more determined to take
Stages.
Q: Am I experiencing
cyclist rage?
Hope you kept with the etiquette and slowed down after the "tacks on the road" episode.
ReplyDeleteIn my (Kate, special guest star) defence, I had to adjust the bike to ride as I fall into the 'normal height' category, not 'midget'.
ReplyDeleteAs to the charge that I was consuming alcohol while riding, don't presume that it was not lemon Powerade in my champagne flute. I don't presume professional cyclists on Le Tour are not consuming illegal performance-enhancing liquids just because they sip from water bottles!
