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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jan |

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 Jan |
