16o km, 2662 meters of climbing.
Good day on the bike. A bit sore from a 150 km day followed by a 160 km day. Two longest mileage stages are now behind us but the big climbing is still to come.
Howie and Philip rolled their Fuck Cancer kits today. Part of Team Wedgewood's manifesto is to raise money to support the fight against cancer.
Love the towns with fountains in close proximity to the finish line. Over 40 degrees today so the cool down was needed.
Also Toby's (right) birthday today. Toby is on course domestique extraordinaire for Magic Places and makes us all feel like total pros. He's usually found on the toughest section of the day with fresh bottles, coke, water and fruit. We treated Toby to a great dinner and a little birthday gag. He refused the no hands and ate the whip cream with a spoon. We won't hold that against him tomorrow.
Big day tomorrow. Queen's stage - most meters climbed. Get to tackle the famous Stelvio. As GM noted today, this is the one we dreamt about all winter.
I like your goals for 2012.
