57 kms Due to the heat, I decided to start far earlier than usual – around 9:00am. (OK not that early for most people). A great circuit from home, that included 20 or so kilometers in France along a stretch of road that was in last years Tour de France – including the 4th category climb “Cote de Collonges.” Then back across the Rhone river into Switzerland and through the sunflower and vineyard fields home. Good, hard ride. Total distance 5,585 kms will-davies.com

Happiest while cycling uphill.
37 km Hot, leisurely ride with Doreen. We’re staying home this weekend to watch the two best mountain stages of this year’s contest. Total distance 5,528 kms will-davies.com
35.7 kms Not sure if it was due to the heat, yesterday’s ride, a lousy sleep, a bad breakfast, a wind from a strange direction, or a combination of all. But I felt pretty lousy on the bike today. Total distance 5,491km will-davies.com
64.1 km Wind gone, perfect weather. Total distance 5,455 km will-davies.com
43.7 km Beautiful day, after watching yesterday’s Tour stage, who wouldn’t be motivated to attack every hill. Total distance 5,391 km will-davies.com
46 km Didn’t ride yesterday due to +35km/h winds. Today was around 25 km/h winds. Hard work into the wind, but it’s the lateral breezes at the top of the hill that you have to watch out for. Almost knocked off twice. Good hard ride though. Total distance 5,347 km will-davies.com
44.2 km Strong bise (north wind) but nice day on my special bise-busting route (fairly sheltered on many north facing parts of the route). Today the tour de france went up the ballon d’alsace which we visited and climbed in the spring in pouring rain. Fun to recognize a hill on TV.

35.1 kms Overcast and threatening but the weather stayed dry. Nice relaxing ride near home with Doreen. Total distance 5,257 km will-davies.com
34.3 kms As long as it doesn’t lightning, I’m going to need to get wet to get in any kilometres. Total distance 5,222 km will-davies.com
28.2 kms Windy and rain again today. Quick ride during break in the weather. Total distance 5,187 km will-davies.com
