That was great - Rush gets the Stars on 45 treatment!

Went out for a short spin late yesterday morning.  Finding hills (such as they are in Meath)  relatively easy so I came up with  a route that would be as hilly as possible.

Headed out of Navan on the Slane road then crossed the Boyne at the Broadboyne bridge - nasty little climb there as you climb out of the valley - (according to Strava 0.27km at 10.1%)  Turned left onto the N2, which takes you to the very bottom of Slane Hill - from there climbed to the Hill top 158m above see level where St Patrick lit his fire (1.64km at 7%)  Back into Slane village and up to the hill top on the Drogheda side (0.3km at 5.6%)

Then back down the hill out the Navan Road, right then left onto the Kells Road.  Nice and gradual climb here that seems to go on for quite a while (apparently 3.5km km @1.6%).

Another drag as you go through Gibbstown and then a bumpy ride back to Navan alongside the Blackwater.  And despite my best efforts to make it a hilly run I only managed 457m of climbing in the 43km spin.  The climb out of the valley was really tough but thankfully short.  The climb up Slane Hill was made easier by the traffic lights turning red halfway up the climb.  Quite tough to be much of a grimpeur in Meath.

Laurent Fignon was the last to do it

It's not been customary to want to win all stages. He doesn't care, and wants to win them all.

Exactly, generally there is a bit of cat and mouse, testing each other, keeping main competitors on a tight leash, keeping something in reserve.

Instead he knows he's stronger than anyone else and is not worrying about the competition, just riding his own race
