The road to the alps.

In 98 days I will be at the foot of the Swiss Alps. Chasing Lance, if he makes it due to the collarbone thing he’s got going on. With time no longer on my side the training is now underway to get some miles in the legs before flying out to South Africa for two weeks before I head to London and onto Geneva to pick up my tour group.

The road to the Alps for me is the paved with plenty of frequent flyer miles. As mention above, the training is underway. After an inspirational chat to a former “Australian Road Championship” the training and attitude to training is about to change. The old rule of not riding in the rain… is out the window, today I actually pedaled off from home into the pouring rain with nothing other than getting k’s into the legs on my mind. My new house of pain is going to be Mt Mee which kicks off early next week.
