Today wasn’t such a good day for the favorites in the Tour De France. They rode on cobblestones. My post about Oudenaarde tried to convey how difficult cobblestones can be. The tour will smooth out and shake out but today was a day they want to forget. The leaders will reemerge but riding cobblestones is never fun.
Oh, and, today we rode up Overlook again. It was over 90 degrees F and I didn’t conquer it. The last of the three 20+ degrees climb kills me. Overall though, its a good and challenging ride. I’ll get it someday.
