La Vuelta 2015… getting ready!
Hello! What a summer of cycling it’s been! Some amazing moments in France and Italy, now we’re heading for the last Grand Tour of this year, La Vuelta a España, which explores the dramatic country of Spain. I’ve followed this event for two years, so it will be interesting to see how the race goes; the developing story of Froome versus Quintana should be fascinating not to mention the emerging stars building on their achievements in France. There should be much to enjoy. To get into the mood, I’ve selected a few highlights from 2013 and 2014 for you. Here are my drawings:

Brining sunshine to the canvas! Tour of Britain comes through East Lothian in a couple of weeks, including a King of the Mountains stage, hope you manage some of that as well.
