Just done the first of this winter's trivia quizzes.
Incredibly easy - even I scored 15 in about 30 seconds!

Can't believe it, I got fifteen. I don't expect that will continue for very long.
Although on the practice quiz I missed a few questions, like who exactly was Rene Vietto, I just didn't know. Nor did I know whose "idea" the Tour was. In fact, I have already forgotten. Even though they say the "father" was Desgrange.
What a pleasant way to while away the winter hours. Mind you, if I get some wrong, I no doubt will be less happy. |

Thing is I knew the answer but succumbed to the high pressure environment that is the Trivia Quiz!
Now I'm playing 'catch up'! |

I fear that one was to lull us into a false sense of security, next week will be a bundle of obscure hills in the semi classics or climbs used in the Gts one in 1951..... I fear for our sanity!!
At least it makes winter fun
