@nedboulting. Weird thing. Last week, the town of Chateauroux cropped up twice in separate conversations for no reason, causing me to read up on it. A day later, I bought ‘The Road Bike’ and there it is again (and again) …so I’m going to visit next month. Love the book too.
Dwi ddim yn deall be di’r problem yn cael cymal gravel ar y #TourDeFrance2024. Doedd na ddim lonydd tarmac ar un adeg, a mae lwc yn elfen pwysig o chwaraeon. Mae’r timau eisiau rheoli popeth ond hwnna’n diflas.
@LukeRowe1990 Huge Thanks for the pleasure you’ve given us over the years. This is the best photo I ever took. Greeting your brother in St Jean de Maurienne, 2015.
@friebos Thank you for the Ullrich book which I’ve just devoured. I was shivering at the Galibier summit in 1998. I feel a bit guilty now for cheering his demise that day.
@lionelbirnie Hi Lionel, Saw you pass on the climb from Brides-Les-Bains yesterday. Reason for increased crowds on mountains seems clear to me. About 30% of fans rode e-bikes. That’s a new phenomenon.
