Well David Barry getting today's podcast off to a cracking start got on my local radio DJ voice on there and it was a well it was an eventful day

No, it wasn't wasn't I don't know. I don't know David did a great job there on sound. I didn't even with the fade out. Yeah

Thanks Pete. Yeah, I knew you'd like that. I was broke. Yeah. Yeah

Mostly tasking. Ellen, how's your bike ride this morning? How did it go?

Very good. It was a super beautiful area. I didn't expect that I thought it would be a bit boring like the race today, but

No, it was surprisingly nice actually. Yeah, I enjoyed it. What did you see on your bike ride?

I saw forest. I saw great tarmac. I saw maybe

Five cars and two bike riders. It's really quiet around here. It was really empty David. What did you see on your bike ride?

I saw fans because I just rode 15 clumps out along the course in the opposite direction

Did a U turn under the 15 kilometers go banner and rode back again?

So I was like felt like a racer

Well, not really, but yeah, I didn't see much. It's beautiful. It is very beautiful. What did you see on your bike ride?

Finally someone

Well, I rode the folding but the Brompton from our hotel, which is about 30k from the finish line

But I've left my phone charger in my commentary position yesterday

And so overnight I hadn't charged my phone

So I had like 15% left on my phone when I set off and as soon as you put it onto sat nav

It starts it chewing chewing the battery and so my phone died

And I don't I didn't aware I was at all and I was trying to stay off the main roads and like Ellen

Let you say it's really empty round here, isn't it? No cars and I was on these tiny little farm tracks and

The farm track then stopped being tarmac and started being really

Gravel but really sharp little stones and I've got these slick tires on the Brompton and I'm thinking any minute now
