Today saw the real riders showing how to ride on French Cobbles. Thanks to Ian's excellent navigation and driving we saw the peloton four times at different stages throughout the day. A brilliant days racing with enormous crowds all along the route. Topped of with a great win by Cancellara.
We are definitely proud paid up members of the Spartacus fan club now.

This is French Steve the Pro rider (Skil Shamano & AG2R) who has been a guest guide/coach for the last three days of cobbles in France. He not only raised the street cred of our group but also lowered our average age by at least 25 years
