My father passed away two years ago today aged just 52. During his last weeks we watched the tour together, I wasn't hugely into it at the time, but my Dad was a cycling nut. He never learnt to drive and put in thousands and thousands of miles across the UK and Europe.
I've been glued to the tour this year, always aware of the date of the final stage, my enjoyment of it being equally impacted by Wiggins' stunning performance and as a sort of tribute to my Dad.
We're having a get together in his old local tonight and shall we be toasting Wiggins success as we reminise.
