Excellent news re TDF visit !!

Last night I posted on URC the Cycling Weekly comp for a trip to the TDF.
As I hoped a cyclingl fan would win. I didn't enter the comp as it looked
like work was going to get in the way.

Anyway.......... A friend of mine actually won and invited me a her guest
!!!! After some jigging around to get someone to cover for me for the
weekend, I was able to accept. So a real fan is going!!


There was a fair amount of hair tearing cos CW said the prize didn't
include flights to France. However, a satisfactory deal was eventually
struck, flights were booked and I'm off to Lyons on friday as a guest of
Skoda.
Will see the TT from an official car and a HELICOPTER !!! As well as VIP
passes to the village etc.

I can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be the only person in the Skoda VIP area actually watching the TT
finish ;-)

Got to start packing .... I'll have my UJ flag with me so I'll be waving
that for Millar and Wiggins. ( & Bradley hasn't signed it yet either). Find
the aussie flag incase I see McEwen, I'm taking Various other bits I want
signing- hopefully will save me having to drag some of my books off to the
Vuelta in September

No that's terrible news, I entered after your post and didn't get the
call!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend. Takes some pics from the helicopter.
