TOUR DE FRANCE Stage 20: Cadel takes second and the yellow jersey. Stage 21: Cav wins again and Cadel did it. This was one of the best Tours in years. Favorite moments:
- Gilbert taking yellow when he was severely marked.
- Garmin winning the time trial
- Thor getting yellow and holding it.
- Thor wins a mountain stage
- Voeckler fighting to keep the yellow through the Pyrenees & Alps. The guy knows how to suffer.
- Andy finally attacking and from way out. Cadel bringing back Andy on his own.
- Contador attacking from way out and going out in style. Cadel bringing back Contador on his own.
- Cadel decisively beats Andy in the time trial.
- Cadel in yellow going into Paris.
Started late since I was watching the last stage of the Tour. It got hot climbing up to China Flats.
Another nice Southern California day. Actually, I like it cooler but having the sun out is nice.
I really wonder if this was the original trail that was used. Must have been amazing in the day.
The challenge time frame is over and although I didn't get to the goal, I did reach my personal goal of 25000 feet. That is only a third of the total but all the time I had. Still I am able to see improvements in fitness from this. No wonder bikers talk about training blocks. This has worked wonders on my limited riding time.
