Notes:
TDF week 3 sees a split peleton with a return to muddy riding for many.
Skinnies follow the sandalous El Pud for rural roadie antics whilst Britain’s fastest M50 Mega Avalancher leads out the mudheads.
Some Dam fine riding at the bottom of Teggs, some loosely dressed lanes through Langley,and clouds of flies at every stop!
Nancies on Shutlingsloe, Back of the moon singletrack bedding in nicely.
Narnia and Hardingland almost perfect!

A just do it attitude most helpful at the TT, and after some nifty bike stacking we pile in for Posh pies, mash & minty peas washed down with local Lager. Dan abandons us for real mates before reappearing with face time 😉

We are all forced into last halves as bike storage is an all or nothing affair.
Did slim escape the lure of the late night kebab…?
