Where's the toilet... and sunny days!

Yesterday, an little evening criterium was on the cards to kick off the weekend however things didnt quite go to plan. Firstly though the legs were again a lot better than last weekend and so things are looking good for mondays big race over at Moncontour (featuring a 3km climb on the circuit which we cover about 15times i think... wicked!) so yea back to last night... after 1h45 steady in the morning with a few warm up sprints to get the legs going i was feeling good and rady for the evenings affairs, however once the race got going it wasnt my legs that were feeling dodgey, but the stomach. After an hours racing, half way through, i attacked on the hill of the circuit and got across to another lad just in front, we did 2laps flat out but in doing so i pushed my stomach over the edge and things really didnt feel right... put it another way, if i had kept on pushing i think i would have very soon changed the colour of my light colours bib shorts! So i swung over down the finish straight, found the nearest café and ... well ill spare you the details but i felt sorry for whoever was going to use the toilet after me!

All in all a disappointing evening. I'm never one for just pulling out of races of things aren't going well, actually bar crashing out, i think today is one of the only races if what THE only race i have abandoned the past two seasons out here! Oh well.

Things are feeling more normal again today and a light spin this morning again proved that the legs are feeling much better and a quick thrash round the town centre cobbled streets with a few local lads while making some rowdy noises and scaring a fair few pedestrians... sorry! has got me back in action and ready for monday. The rest of today will be spent on the beach with friends as the weather we have here at the moment is exceptional! Canon as they say over 'ere! Gud ol' froggies! Work on disguising the dodgey cycling tanlines a bit, grab an ice-cream and debate whether the girls at the beach are too young for us or not sounds like a good day out to me!

hope the weather is treating you as well as it is here, if not... tough sh*t! ;-)
