30KM. TOUGH. NEARLY….

“Take this Glandon” was the message that just popped up on my phone from Vossi. Followed by “I’m happy the Glandon has only 3 sides, otherwise we still be climbing it tomorrow”.

With only 30 KM of climbing left in the Tour, the guys are sensing they are very nearly home. The climbing of these last days has been tough, but the end is in sight. Today Vossi felt stronger and was towards the front of the race rather than the Gruppetto.

We managed to see him coming over the summit of the Glandon – however we got a little over excited and the planned photo didn’t quite come out as intended….

Tomorrow we will be on Alp d’Huez to cheer Vossi up the last mountain – come and say hello if you see us.

Offered millions of pounds of central government funding for local transport development, the city has elected to remove an important active travel corridor prior to the publication of a review into its effectiveness. The actions of a local councillor, praised by the City Mayor, could lead to a huge reduction in local transport funding that will set the city back years. We look back at the last two years, the impact of Covid, and ask is this the end of the road for a co-ordinated active travel plan for Liverpool?

The difficulties of Cav To The Tour

Mark Cavendish’s welcome return to victory has led to calls for the Briton to be selected for the Tour de France, including the #CavToTheTour push on Twitter. There is a considerable emotional appeal to him taking part, but is it practical?
