The Dauphine Libere sportive took place yesterday and the weather held off beautifuly for almost all of us.  We had a van full of riders and most of us did the 123km route, with only Michelle & Keith brave enough to take on the 173km route  Michelle was 3rd lady in the long event and won 2 trophies.  Well done! 

Sadly, 3 of our favourite guests from Dromara CC in Northeren Ireland missed their flight due to an accident blocking the motorway on their way to Dublin airport on Thursday.  So, I wore their club jersey in their honour and even got a mention on the PA as I rolled over the start line.

In keeping with my recent experience of this event, I had mechanicals.  Last year, my left crank arm fell off and this year my seat post snapped in half, leaving me to struggle on  out of the saddle for the last 30-odd  kms.  Oh well.

Photos to follow.
