Behold our noble patron of the peloton

Geared up and ready to go on stage 3 of the Tour of Lanzarote.

Strong wind still in place? Check

Mr Smith’s well honed sense of self preservation to the fore? Check

After an opening leg to Le Golfo I tried desperately to stay within sight of the ‘middlemanator’ while Smith turned for home.

An insane climb and plummeting descent later we were back to enjoy The lunch so thoughtfully prepared by our patron.

Once the mild nausea had passed that is.
