On the Podium

 

I might not deserve any awards for finishing anything this year but I did manage to spin every day and considering the big Grand sitting adventure that was a miracle. 

I'm far from being done but the Women's Tour started Saturday so I'll be watching that in the morning while I ply these babies.

The Vuelta a Espana starts on August 23 so I'll have three more weeks of watching men's cycling and working on these again. Even with all that to look forward to, I'll be sad all day. Jumping out of bed at 6:30 and making an iced coffee to the sounds of Phil Liggett and Bob Roll setting up the day's stage becomes a habit after 3 weeks. One that's hard to break.
