At the Eiffel tour watching the premier of Home

Riding down some street they call Champs- Elysees

Taking the car out for the first time I had to

quickly find cover as it started to hail

Paris - Rouen

White Cliffs of Dover

Driving a left hand drive car in England where

they drive on the left hand side can be interesting.

The Past Month and a Bit

Well as you can tell I am very inconsistent with this blog, so sorry for that. The last month has been a bit up and down with me getting sick a few times. But if there was a time for me to get sick and have a bit of down time now is the time as there hasn't been a lot of racing. This is due to the regional and national championships going on throughout June, which I am not able to race in.

Also in the last few weeks I have hired a little Fiat Panda that is great even if butterflies can out strip it. On my first outing with it I drove to Calais and then got the ferry across to Dover, England where I met up with some friends for a few days which was really good fun. The first morning I was there I went and got a nice fully cooked English breakfast, so good.

I have been told just recently that I will be riding the Tour of Guadeloupe that is just of the coast of Venezuela from the 7th - 16th August. We will be flying in on the 6th and out on the 18th which will be really cool as I will have my 21st the day after the finish of the race.
