Time to Go

So then.  I’m all packed and ready to make the trip to Folkestone to catch the Euro Tunnel.  The bike is boxed up and safely nestled in the car alongside too many clothes and a bunch of other stuff I’m highly unlikely to use.

While my broken collar bone will prevent me from riding this year’s Marmotte.  I’m certain it’s healed enough for me to at least have a stab at getting up to the top of the Alpe D’Huez.  Sure, it’s going to hurt and there’s no way I’ll be getting out of the saddle at any point to pull on those bars – TaylorHamilton way back in 2003, most certainly I’m not.

A good luck and a safe day to everyone riding this weekend (July 7^th).  I’m planning to make my way up to the finish to cheer and applaud as many as I can.
