Fairly high muppet quotient on AdH today. It's getting a bit like the bull run during San Fermines in Pamplona. Still, most of them do seem to be in for severe sunburn.

Beautiful scenery- looked a lot like my holiday there from last year.

As for the race- totally dull - best bits were the descents, i recorded it and FFWD the dull bits.
