There should be a photo here

Son-in-law came 7th in the cycling event at the weekend. He was disappointed to discover that he finished about 15 minutes after the winner but pleased with his time of five hours. It was only his second race and we're very proud and pleased for him. Anyone who can cycle 100 miles up and down Welsh hills and still stand at the end deserves plenty of praise.

Although why anyone would want to cycle 100 miles ...

Is anyone else having problems uploading photos to Blogger or is our newly-installed Home Hub playing up?

Respect!

Son-in-law was one of about 5,000 cyclists who took part in a mass ride along the Tour de France route on Sunday. (The Tour de France this year starts in London. It's the first step by the French to surreptitiously conquer England.)

The 120-mile route went from Greenwich, London, to Canterbury, Kent.

Out of those 5,000 cyclists, Son-in-law had the 56th fastest time, only 22 minutes slower than the fastest.

As someone whose hips ache if she rides a bike more than a mile, I am full of awe. Well done, S-i-l. We're proud of you.
