Sitting on complex of corners coming out of Goindreville. #TdF TT riders coming thick & fast. Just caught 1st as setup our camp. Love it!

This week in the Loire did 155km/456m ascent. Would take 2½ months to get the same vertical I was doing weekly in the Pyrenees! It sucks!

French president is #TdF VIP today. But the Brits dominate again! France TV trying to ignore with a segment on Pinot, Voeckler & Fedrigo

Amazon says I can't have some 'out-of-copyright, pre-1923 books' as they have 'copyright restrictions'. WTF?! Isn't that an oxymoron?

Visit château, 40km smash fest on the bike, lunch, relax with a beer & TdF coverage of final mountain stage. Can't ask for a better day

Pancake flat here in the Loire. No climbs = no DH to rest on, just a constant slog to keep the HR up. Boring & more pain than you'd think!

At breakfast trying to remember what we are doing today. Ah... Drive to the Loire. There for a week. Phew! This travel stuff is hard

Did I say we were just past the feed zone? Oops, must have misread the signs... we are IN the feed zone! This should be interesting! #TdF

Sitting just past feed zone on today's #TdF stage, beside some crazy (in a good way) Aussies. Their van covered in flags & roos. Top job!

Two choices top of Col de la Madeleine today. Neither was that appealing so chose less stupid one ... ended up with 3200m of vertical!

Lots of beautiful scenery driving to Alps camp site today. Bit of traffic too. Oh well, start of Col de la Madeleine climb only 4km away

Amazing day out at #TdF TT. Now eating kebab in pretty park in Dole. Tired but so happy. Saw start/climb/finish. Thank you @Orica_GreenEDGE!
