Eddy

Finally got round to doing one of the great Eddy Merckx, who tops all the lists of greatest cyclist ever. Everyone loved his constant attacking style and his palmarès speaks for itself.

Yesterday's Ride

Did my 68k loop yesterday. Horrendously strong wind, especially at the tops of the climbs. Felt great to be out in the sunshine though. The vines are almost fully in leaf now and are that vivid late spring green. I like the sort of patch-work shape of the vineyards and the lines of the vines chopping across in different directions.
