I'm going to take Saturday as my rest day. Legs are tired and the bike needs cleaned plus the 12th of July in Belfast is a good day to keep of the streets in Belfast. The Oman will be to make up for my rest day by going out on Tuesday when the pros have their rest day.

Knee hurts. Could be curtains for me. It would be very stupid of me to injure myself. I lost too much riding time last year to repeat the same problems.
I'll give the bike a much needed scrub instead. I still have Tuesdays rest day to catch up if I'm feeling good.

Nah, was never in. Didn't get out on Saturday, and even if I was work will now get in the way. Will be lucky to get out much, if at all, over the next 2 weeks (Still on for Sunday though ) Excellent news on the work front. I might start to catch you up on the July strava distance challenge again Haha, I expect you will catch me. When I'm done with the work I'm off on holiday for 2 weeks. Won't cycle at all between July 26th and Aug 9th.

@davefy7 and I are bookending the extremes of delivery - so far I've been in the groupo, Dave is in Yellow, all good though. What did Eddy Merckx say (it may be on someone's avatar) ?!

Are we counting number of rides or days? Trying to find a way back in. 2 rides on Sunday perhaps.

A short ride will count, I reckon 30 minutes at pace should do as a minimum or what's the point of getting changed? We'll allow rest on the rest days and also catch ups on rest days for if you miss a ride due to diary pressures. ...but nope, just watching is a cop out, I'm going to try and watch every live second of broadcasting on ITV4 (on PC screen 2 whilst working, book all appointments out of race time etc.) ! There you go. Catch up on rest days.

Thanks brother @davefy7 - the whole point of this silly idea was to understand how gruelling getting out everyday is for the peloton ... but we're not being precious, join in now or miss a day and catch up ... ... but ultimately, just do some riding.

I claim the distance yellow unless someone knows difference: 276km (171 miles) in 6 stages. That said most of that was Monday's epic
