Work completely all over the place shifts for three weeks to try and fit in as much of the live coverage as possible, and at the end of all that weve still got to try and find a decent viewing spot on the champs elysees... Maybe i should have stuck with the cycling.. :D Joking aside, its good to see you in such great spirits... really looking forward to the tour, now that we too have recovered from the chain debacle (you may have thrown a bike, but i accidentally chucked a pint in fury which nearly hit the cat).... but good luck with the tour.. a few years back i had the pleasure of you (and i think it was ja ja) giving it a right old go on the final stage only to be caught.... :( same again this year please...? we need something to cheer, as looks like only you and cavendish there for us brits there and he aint going to win much ;) its all down to you :D Wish it was as easy for the fans getting ready for the tour… you guys get to sit around chalets looking at the scenery, we got to try and organise days off work around the mountains, make flags and banners, check weve got our hotel in paris booked, bought our paris visite train tickets, camera batteries, and goodness knows what else… Work completely all over the place shifts for three weeks to try and fit in as much of the live coverage as possible, and at the end of all that weve still got to try and find a decent viewing spot on the champs elysees…

It is always interesting to here how you guys end up bonding together even under strange circumstances. Looking forward to seeing and routing you on during the second week of the tour! May all your wind be tailwinds. Go Garmin/Chipotle! Guys, great to hear the inside stuff about the training.

I enjoy reading your diary type entries. The ones on bicycling.com during giro were excellent at recreating the atmosphere of the race and showing what it is like through the riders eyes. I have a question though. Absent injury what is the longest time a rider will spend off his bike during the racing season? (for example i imagine in the days before the tour de france it must be difficult to find the time to go cycling) Hi Dave. I enjoy reading your diary type entries.
