A Day of crashes - Home and abroad

Firstly abroad some heavy crashes at the Tour with a few having to abandon. (Vino by all reports is pretty knocked up)

Surprising one would have to be the French Media Car taking out Juan Antonio Flecha who then hits Johnny Hoogerland

Also here it is the other big controversy was Contador pushed or was it just a touch of wheels.  Probably better video to come on the cycling sites soon.

On the homefront I took the kids to the skate park today.  There was blood, skin loss and sore legs.  

At least after every fall they got back up and tried again.  Gotta be proud of that.

Saturday Riding - One just wasn't enough.

In my usual effort of poor planning and leaving everything to the last minute.  I got everything into the car to go for my usual Saturday morning ride and turned the car on.  The Low fuel warning come on.  Shit I remember the night before that I was low on fuel and was going to get up earlier.  

Oh well figured I might still make it.  Nothing worse than having to fill up your car with the early saturday morning crew who are their to collect their smokes and coffees standing around in nothing but lycra.  

In the end I didn't get there in time.  Quick phone call I found out the route.  Ended up mis-interpreting the direction and doing a solo ride. :)

Need to work on the hills my heart rate starts to peak when I even see one.  In my defence they were quite big at least 3% Grade :)

Here was my second ride from Upper Swan to Carine.  My GPS was trying to kill me.  Riding down Wanneroo road was not a good plan but fortunately I didn't have to play chicken for too long.

Here is that ride.
