When I headed out at 6:30 pm the air was still a high 24 degrees and so it did not take too long for the body's 'water cooling' to come into play. I must say, however, that that new jersey performed admirably, it really does pay to have the right equipment.
I was a day ahead of myself when I stated yesterday that the TDF was running through Ducey, it is today's Stage 11 and 33km individual time-trial which follows the route to and along the french coast to end at Mont-St-Michel.
Yesterday's stage to Saint Malo was eventful one particularly in the closing sprint when Mark Cavendish and Tim Veelers had a coming together with Veelers falling to the ground at some speed. Controversy followed but I saw no malice in Cavendish's act of self preservation when confronted with Veeler's veering into his path!
Back to my evening circuit, I decided against the hill in favour of my three hills. Two reasons for this, first my legs were telling me we'd done enough of the hill for the moment and second, I wanted to ride more of the coast road and get closer to the sea, may be I thought that this would be cooler, but alas, no I think not!
