These are the days that I.....

it is suppose to be love. Based on Lance Armstrong's book, he loves the days it is raining, snowing and windy because no one else is out on the bike. After Charlie McGrath's christening I hadn't got a cycle planned but ended up on the bike on Sunday morning. No hangover but full of BBQed meat from the garden party. Wasn't really feeling the love from the start. It was definately a windy day and it is always a headwind! There were five of us out and we started a local loop bring us down to ballsbridge up to blackrock, salthill basically following the dart out to killiney. We got separated in killiney but my crew put a plan together and got our 75km done. It rained and blew wind at us, average speeds were down and I was glad to finish. So are these the days that I love or hate, well I guess you have to love them when they are over. The days are ticking and that was the reason I was on the saddle this week. Oh yeah sponsors included Lucozade sports drinks, Dublin County Council Water, Organix fruit bars and Vodafone for communications. ( That last bit is for Micky Martin he loves the plugs!)
