Sitting here in my hotel inside the famed wall of lucca, I’m getting my mind wrapped around the idea of my first grand tour in less than 2 weeks. From Qatar to roubaix to Italy… it’s been a solid campaign so far this year. I will admit my legs are feeling all the racing. So I made the trip to Lucca to get some riding in the mountains for the first time this season. Time to go have a coffee so I can think straight.
