The original tickets sold out in 7.min.

I hope there aren't loads of empty seats

I tried a di2 ride today and its slick. I'm a traditionalist but I couldnt resist the lure of tech. Not used to the lack of mechanical feel when changing gears and was fumbling like I was in the dark. The smell of bbqs spurred me on homeward

The Sky rider Ben Swift say it's horrible when you go back to a normal bike after riding a Di2 machine.

I'm on the verge of buying the kit, maybe this winter, but it means going 11 speed, so new wheels.

Love me tech I do

Did you loan it from a shop Pookie?

I'm moving house in the next few weeks, then I'll start saving. I'd really like a Di2 bike

That was pretty epic. I wonder what he could do with a superman bike...

Nice that Big Mig is there to witness Brads WR, one of the worlds best riders against the clock.

mattSV · 07-06-15, 06:54 PM

Big Mig, I remember reading a report in Cycling Weekly years ago that his resting pulse was 28 - and remember thinking WTF

maviczap · 07-06-15, 07:10 PM

Yep, I saw him at the 1994 TDF in the individual TT, man he came past our position soo fast there was a pressure wave of air before him.

Amazing
