I'm back (again)

Yes, I know... I've neglected this blog for a short (long) time. It might look like I've resigned but... NO.
Now seriously, the BPB is being held again this year (May 29-30th) and this time I'm quite determined to give it a go. To be sincere I feel a bit insecure. In fact my first intention was to take a year's sabbatical from brevets but... Have I mentioned last Easter flèche vélocio? No? Well, to make a long story short I was a member of the only non-french team that successfully completed the arrow (despite the rain and the vent del sud that plagued the southern approach to Le Pontet). Three months ago, in the celebration meal (ACP awards included) I learned that the rest of the team was fully comitted to this year's Barcelona-Perpinyà and I felt somehow obliged to (reluctantly) join them. The 200 km brevet (a bit early for the season) went uneventfully but for the freezing temperature and since then I've kept on training.
