102 miles on the 'bent yesterday. Strong headwinds and mild tailwinds (always the way, isn't it?). Total time including stops was 6:45.
Grand tour (ride around the world) started yesterday. They have a great site at http://worldcycleracing.com/ which is well worth a look. I see Sean Conway has bucked the trend and is heading south into Africa. The other riders are all in Europe. They're all hoping to beat the current world record of 106 days. They are required to cycle at least 18,000 miles in that time which works out to 170 miles a day for over 3 months. I feel so inadequate.
