Etape du Tour 2008 Wrap up

Another massive event. 9500 riders registered, although I’m told a lot didn’t reach the start line when they saw the weather. 170 kms, mostly in the rain. 4500 metres of climbing. Freezing descents off the Tourmalet and Hautacam. All in all an epic day out, and all in the company of Team World - the nicest bunch of cyclists you could hope to meet!  I’m looking forward to the next one.
