Nine days out from the start of le Tour

And Froomey reveals that he has missed a drug test.

Well, tickle my ass with a feather I never ever would have expected this.

I had a GRider the other day and we made it all the way out to Highway 96.  This means that pretty early in her season she has now worked herself all the way up to where she is going to be taking the full ride.

In addition she seems pretty chipper about the whole thing while actually riding.  Here she is earlier this week out at the last lake before the Highway 96 turn back.

In defense of my own personal fitness level I wish to note that she does act a bit knackered after arriving at home.

But then, so do I.

Today's actual bicycle news is 1,020 miles this bicycle this year.
