Cadel in gold!


It was great to see the Australian cyclist Cadel Evans take the maillot jaune in the Tour de France this week. He is not blessed with such a strong team, but as a stong time triallist who can also climb we can only hope that he is good (and clever) enough to hang onto "the sack" until they arrive in Paris on Sunday week. There are a lot of miles to go and with a few tough stages in the Alps still ahead the race is very much open but Evans has as good a chance as anybody at the moment. Another Spaniard was dragged out of the race this morning after a positive EPO test- maybe it is something in the water down there (or perhaps even the jamon?!?).
We are looking forward to the weekend and entertaining again. The bbq will get another run on Saturday with a few guests coming around- fingers crossed that the sun comes out and we can sit outside and take it easy in the evening.
I am trying to take plenty of photos this month (although today wasn't terribly inspired as you can see) and my project is coming along nicely.
