Roundhay Park, Leeds, 7.15 am Sunday May 3rd. I’m forcing down two cheese rolls in the shelter of the Mavic tent, unfortunately unheated, watching walls of rain sweep across the queues waiting to start the Tour de Yorkshire sportive. The sponsors’ flags are threatening to break free of their stands, and I’m wondering if I can cycle in this for 6 hours or so. But we’re lucky these days to have accurate weather forecasts and I am concentrating on two positive thoughts – the wind is at our backs for the first 20 miles and will die down later, and the rain will stop before we get back to Leeds.
