I've come off twice in two days! Both minor but once on right once on left . I had forgotten how much it aches the next day and my right knee is not bending as usual !

Just thinking how it focuses the mind to think you are under pressure in a stage race and 1. got to finish the stage 2. get up the next day and ride on with the whole buzzing madness of the peloton and accompanying noise

On top of being physically the fittest the mental fortitude sometimes gets forgotten!

    not forgetting you look totally badass riding along with torn kit and blood .... surely that has to be motivational knowing you are the hardest looking mutha in the pack ...... or is that just some vanity thing ? perceived from being bought up in the 80s where every cool hero spent at least half of a movie in a blood soaked vest
