Gavin goes mad

On Sunday Gavin had signed up for a 100mile tour of Eagle county - The Eagle River Ride. We have been waking up for the last 3 weeks to the Tour de France and the disputed defending champion had decided that he was too busy participating in the Eagle River Ride to defend his title. So Gavin spent a few hours cycling along side Floyd Landis discussing the merits of shooting Jack Daniels prior to winning a stage in the 06 Tour... this seemingly elevates ones testosterone levels!
The most excellent Team Buckley support crew of Boo, Jo, Dizzy and Nutty endured hours of sweltering heat to keep the mad one full of fuel and photographed.
Having returned home and plugged Gavin into the USB port we found that we had climbed almost 6000 ft over the course of the day - not bad for a supposedly flat stage!
This photo of Floyd (in Orange and gray) is on the 30mile section of the course that was over a hard packed dirt road, English roads seem like velvet after this. Gavin is 5th from the back at this point having been a chicken on the 40mph decent on this loose gravel surface, back to the front for the climbs.
