Morning Ride + Film
Got out for a ride before breakfast today and had my new camera mounted on the bike. The camera is only £12 and all the info is on this thread at Bikeradar.
I mounted it on my bike with an old light fitting bracket.
About L'Etape
L'Etape is an official stage of the Tour de France. It is held every year and is open to amateurs to give them a chance to ride a stage of the Tour. It is always on one of the mountain stages to make it a proper challenge!
To find out details on the Etape the official website is here
As you will see from the website this years tour (2010) is 174km with 3 mountains. The course is very different from last year which had 4 smaller hills and then one very large one. This time 2 large hills then one very large one. I think it may be tougher?
