On account of my 27th anniversary of changing my lifestyle and everything else, and for the ensuing sixth birthday of Bike on Tuesday.

It was also nice to have had a good friend come to visit for the weekend and for Brit rider and wearer of the yellow jersey, Chris Froome, to win another stage in the TdF on Mont Ventoux, the one on which Tom Simpson died in 1967. Today's stage was exciting and Froome showed he's the best climber in the world at the present, powering away from Contador and the rest of the field after team mate Ritchie Porte split the peloton.
