Higher and higher.

More doping news with the revelation that 4 Jamaicans have tested positive for a banned substance as well as Tyson Gay the US sprinter.  If Usain Bolt's name is dragged into the noise it will get very messy indeed.
Along those lines, Chris Froome is subject to the expected 'are you doping?' questions as he powered to a great win up the Ventoux.  It was the 22nd fastest time up the Ventoux, so surely they can't compare him with the dopers can they?  Absolutely brilliant riding to get rid of all his rivals and his acceleration when he was alongside Contador was really good to watch.  Taking of great riding, I rode to work this morning in brilliant sunshine,  but it felt quite cool so I had to keep up the speed.  I'll be also riding home when I expect it will be a little warmer.

I managed to get a reasonable time in the Caistor 10K yesterday - 47 minutes which given the hills in the last 2 miles was better than I thought for an old bloke like me.
