A special 'Chapeau!' too ...


&

Anna, Heather, and all the incredible team at
http://www.cyclingshorts.uk.com/
The UK's newest and coolest cycling site!

And so it began...

It all started at 10 am - New Zealand v England Rugby and the 2 hour 'It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time' kicked it off!
My thinking - start with a long one and all the remaining videos will seem to be over in flash!
This worked until 1 am when time seemed to slow.

The 'Pain cave' at 11am... easy peasy lemon squeezy!
The minion kept its beady on me throughout (thanks to my student Nanne for making him/her... who knows!)
My domestiques - yellow = rides completed. The Italian = suffering to come!
2 pm and all's well after a quick kit change... little did I know!

12 hours later...

2 am and in the middle of my 9th video.
There are still two to go!

Thanks again for all your support... the Tweets and facebook events page comments and updates really kept me going.
I could not have done this without your help.

Thank You.
