Not too much of a surprise seeing Darren top all three tables at time of posting given that the bike has been almost welded to his undercarriage for most of April and indeed that of March, but it didn’t come without a scare or two!
The scare came in the form of the lovely Lisa, who found herself topping at least two of the tables at various times during the week, largely due to her long rides around the Majorcan countryside plus a mountain or two, in the company of our friends at Ciclosol.
If only she had chosen to ride to the ice cream shop, instead of taking a leisurely stroll for that much welcomed rest day treat, we’d be writing a very different tale of the tape and she’d be enjoying her very first, first 🙃
But our congratulations duly go to Darren Salmon for delivering the very first triple of 2026, topping all three tables last week for most distance ridden, longest single effort, and the highest amount of climbing.
