I lamed out on stage 9 and did not ride. I told myself that I would hop on my bike and ride half a K just so I could say I rode, but it got dark before I got around to it.

Took at rest day last Friday for a baseball tourney. I've been keeping up.

So Bro, are you going to do a similar thing for the Vuelta?

 

[BroDeal]

So Bro, are you going to do a similar thing for the Vuelta?

Maybe. I'm still going to get near 1000 miles for the TdF. I'll be over 900, which is not bad for three weeks.

I still feel bad about missing a bunch of stages.

 

[Zoncolan]

Stage 18:
still have heavy legs from previous days, so I took it easy today.
A flattish 83 km.

 

[Boeing]

I've got about 375 total to date this tour

kids sports and work killing me so that was and effort

 

[craig1985]

Stage 18 57 miles 19.6 avg basically flat
Stage 19 42 miles 17.32 avg 975 ft. of climbing

 

[craig1985]

70km this afternoon. I got in plenty of short, steep hills, and spent some time on the flats and did a few sprint intervals (into a headwind), and to end it riding 45-50km/h for a five km stretch. I should credit it to the tail wind I had.

 

[Zoncolan]

My total: 2,311 km

 

[mikeNphilly]

Stage 20 65 miles 15.4 avg a few climbs.
One of the guys in the Philly bike club leads a ride on the last day of the tour, he encourages everyone one to come to wear yellow to celebrate the tour, so had a long line of yellow jersey people riding around today, looked cool.

My total for the Tour was 758miles/1215 km. Was a fun 3 weeks. Can't wait till the Vuelta
