Tour of Poland stage 3, long days…

05Aug

Yesterday as the peloton rolled out the start we saw a road sign that said “Lublin 211km” Lublin was the finish town and we were taking the main road there. It really set in that it was going to be a long day at that point.

The break went away fairly early, so it was another very controlled day with not a lot of action until the last 40-50km. So what do you do during these long flat kilometers? Talk, eat, talk and eat some more! It’s not always like this I can tell you, and in a couple days when we hit the mountains there will be very little talking.

Australian Graeme Brown is one of the peloton’s more lively characters, and is often causing a little havoc. At one point we were lined out in the gutter he hit a hole and almost took down a bunch of us, then as the speed eased up all we heard was Argentinian Juan Jose Hueado yell out in his classic accent, “Brownie you f##king idiot learn how to to ride your bike” Everyone just cracked up too as his accent made it sound so good.

Well folks it only gets longer today 240km, so I’ll be packing a lot of food for another long day out.

Back soon
