Day 5

Very lazy day today, late breakfast. 90 minute recovery ride just spinning my legs to try and freshen up for another race tomorrow.
Cleaned my bike (again), did some washing, my bike kit mostly, the modern fabrics we use now dry so quickly its pretty easy. When I was a boy and using wool shorts with real chamois they used to take forever and I can remember frequently putting on damp shorts in stage races because they hadn't dried and nobody issued a lot of kit in days of yore!
Spent the afternoon with my feat up watching the tour with French commentary, probably my strongest language I think but not really necessary to watch the racing. From a personal point of view I think I'd rather anybody that Liggett and Sherwin but that's just my preference.
