3 Days To Go...... They Come In 3's!

The last week before the Le Grand Depart and I should be sitting back relaxing satisfied that all my training is done and I just need to go and enjoy.......... well not quite. Over the past week I have done 3 rides and in each I have had an incident that has left me more nervously awaiting the start with some significant doubts about my bike!

6 June - 2.5hr ride, hills, 1x puncture, 2x chain off, 1x rear wheel issue - horrible ride
9 June - 3.5hr ride, 100km, 1x CRASH! Thankfully no major damage to me or bike (see below), 1x chain off.
11 June - 1.5hr ride, hills, broke spoke in rear wheel (that had just been fixed).

Versaille Bike Shop bloke has fixed up but not quite said enough to reassure me I am not going to have another spoke break or have the tyre slide from beneath me again! Not really what I wanted this week.

I am hoping the saying is right, and things really do only come in 3's.......
