London 2 Paris Sportive Training weekends Round 1


John Daly & his mates Alan, Colin, Chris & Chris, thought it would be a great idea to ride the 3 day London to Paris sportive.
Well it sounded like a good idea at the time. They were of course down the pub when the deal was struck !!!





It wasnt long till reality HIT HOME and they thought it best to GET ON THEIR BIKES.
The L2P is a tough one,,, 3 days of riding and around 500 km to cover..
Its as close as anyone could get to riding the TOUR..


Hoping to get the boys fit,, John organised two long weekends of training in Spain in the Company of Ciclo Costa Blanca... NOW that was a good idea.


First out for Training Weekend Round 1 (1st/2nd & 3rd May) was John, Alan & Colin.

Myself, Big Al & Bernie did what we could to look after them.. We took them out on our best routes and tried to make them into
Tour riders ..
It almost worked
