On Saturday the tour of Spain starts. Check out the official web page for the top information
http://www.lavuelta.com/11pr/en/recorrido/vuelta.html
Starts in Benidorm, heads south to the Sierra Nevada, across to Cordoba, along the border of Spain/Portugal, across to Salamanca, into the north-western part of Spain, and across northern Spain to Bilbao before heading to Madrid at the end.
They cycle about 2000 miles over 23 days (only 2 days not cycling).........that's pure endurance.
I cheer on Team Sky
http://www.teamsky.com/
and or Mark Cavendish (Isle of Man) http://www.markcavendish.co.uk/ from HTC high road. He is the best sprinter on a bike in the world. He does approx 100miles THEN sprints to the end!!!
Looking forward to this new event (in my brain).......although it's been going for about 66 years
I just never knew :-)
