    Mark, I think I will be able to particpate if you need an extra rider. I see the surgeon on the 20th and I'm hoping he will clear me to start some light riding. Won't be a GC contender buy hope to help with a few miles.

    Yes, please.

    My sträva is here: https://www.strava.com/athletes/8934381

    I have no idea why autocorrect put umlauts on strava there! Weird.

    Fine, I'll need you're Strava Athlete Name and Athlete URL before I can sign you up though...

    or - if you can confirm that https://www.strava.com/athletes/4805854 is you, I can get straight onto it...

    Morning,

    Sorry for the delay in responding.

    Yes the above Strava user is me :)

    Stages 13-16 now mapped

    and here's the final batch of mapping...

    http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/822235749
    http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/822239763
    http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/822244057
    http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/822250655
    http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/822260787

    (note, stage 21 finishes with 11 laps around the centre of Madrid, but as the parcours is largely flat, I pretty much mapped 2 of the 11 laps and lost the will to live (not to mention running out of space to add reference points... so, we're maybe 50-100m of ascent short on that stage, which frankly, I can live with!)
