Just got back in from the annual pilgrimage. been going since 1993 and the crowds have got bigger and bigger - unbelievable today! Feel like I inhaled most of Northern France just standing by the road, so good knows what its like to ride!
Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere, but the match preview on one of the toon forums says tonight's ref is known to come from 'a family of Huddersfield Town fans '. Could add some extra spice to any contentious decisions.

Thanks a lot folks! It was only the thought of first place on the nsc strava leader board that was driving me on. I was a mile short of last year's total, but considering my evaporating form, I'm more than happy with that.
