Cycling for Monet



I'm not too sure what happened here but my shot of Lyndon and Nigel from the Optician triathlon team taking part in the Evans King of the North Down sportive looks a little French impressionist. This was Lyndon making one of many adjustments to a niggling back derailleur. Later on in the day I would have welcomed as many mech stops as possible.
Sunday was a real scorcher so the 10 climbs and 118-odd miles of the route were tough going. Excellent practice for the Alpe D'Huez but at a little over two miles none of the climbs in the South East of England have anything like the relentless climbing of the Alpe.

Well done to all who took part.
