REST DAY
Yesterday was a rest day for both the NZ Olympic Star Team and the Giro d'Italia which is 50km up the road. All the work on the boat has been completed and to a very high level so we took the chance to have some time out. Because l struggle to sit still at the best of times l hopped on my bike and headed out towards Sondrio where today's Giro Stage is starting. Even though these guys spend three weeks straight racing at the these Grand Tours they still get out for a "Rest Day Ride". So Upon arrival in Sondrio there was Professional Cyclists everywhere from all teams, it was a very cool experience especially joining in with a few of the guys from Team High Road for about 40km. This area (Lombardia) is about as good as it gets in my opinion for riding, and watching the Giro fly through town with Kiwis Julian Dean and Tim Guddsell today will be awesome! Then for us, the Road trip continues to our next regatta in Split, Croatia. More time in the new boat, and more time against our tough Olympic competitors. Although this Regatta will be a large fleet unlike the Olympics it still is an important stepping stone in our preparation. Full Story »
