| All that lycra makes me nervous |
Today we took advantage of the pleasant weather and hit the road for a few miles. Chris and Steve (extreme left in the photo) are training for a jaunt across France later in the Summer. Their route takes them from Atlantic to Med and will involve several days of tough climbing in the Pyrenees. I find it difficult enough to climb the stairs to bed most nights so good luck with that chaps!
Needless to say, we found a friendly watering hole conveniently situated at the top of a short climb and we were able to take advantage of the wares on offer. I hope these hostelries are plentiful in the Pyrenees guys. I have sussed out several similar spots on the D2D route but I'm not sure that the champagne will be French, more likely that Clonmellian stuff that they make in the dark.

Today is June 10th and while that means all real Cyclists should be in Wicklow for the 200, some of us have more important business on the agenda, like settling down for a few light refreshments and hoping the weather stays fine for barbequing big steaks - well we need to put some protein back after this morning's exertions. Maybe watch a bit of football too. Oh, and it's ML's birthday. Knew I'd forgotten something
