TOUR STAGE ONE

Swallows are back – whoopee !

Did the first stage of Le Tour de Yorkshire this morning – 174km – wow am I tired !

Seriously did the route and this image is near the start in Bridlington – have to confess – did it by car . . . hehe.

Sporty Bit 1 . . .  Congratulations to AP McCoy on the successful completion of his racing career – Champion Jockey for 20 seasons running. Up and Coming . . . congrats also to Brian Hughes who achieved 106 winners this season. A grand effort for a jockey based in The North !

Sporty Bit 2. . .  Le Tour de Yorkshire is but 3 days away ! The excitement builds.
Sporty Bit 3 . . .  to ALL Blippers - thank you so much for the fingers crossed campaign. Boro blew it bigtime. They will just fall short – and I also have to miss the last proper fixture of the season as all the tickets were sold whilst I was away. Still if we can keep hold of Aitor Karanka the future seems to be rosy. Play Offs loom.  #FCFB
