I turned forty something today. My (lovely) wife knows me well.
Among several thoughtful gifts were two scrolls redeemable for full car support for a huge Alps ride anytime in the next 12 months.
I still have very fond memories of Doreen’s support car services on Ventoux last year. On a hot day, fresh water bottles every few kilometres and a bum push to boot. Jealous riders were everywhere. And better photos than I could ever take.
Doreen is no slouch and has successfully climbed stuff like Alpe d’Huez, Ventoux and Galibier (photo).
Merci mille fois!

A very creative and thoughtful gift. No doubt they will come in handy to support this year’s challenge.
You are a lucky man to have such a great wife.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Hmm, I’m thinking possibly I should send you the same gift… Oh but it wouldn’t work because I’d end up parking the car and riding it myself. 🙂
You are a lucky 40-something man, Will. Many happy returns.

Happy Birthday!
Good! I remembered this week that you had said that you would turn 49 ;-D very soon. I felt guilty as I thought I had missed it and was figuring out how to apologize next time I see you. But I get you right on the day. CONGRATULATIONS!!! And lovely idea from DtD. Very sweet card. Need to tell Katy to have a look on Cycling Challenge so she can pick up how to be a good KtD.
Happy BD!!!
