I was drooling over new bikes and clicked a link to Fabian Cancellara's great decent on stage 7 of the 2009 TdF. Proper riding....

And then a link to Lance's ascent of Luz Ardiden.... a bit quicker than me and Maviczap!

It's nearly TdF time, cannot wait!

Still it was a great day that Mike, and you and me are mere mortals, plus we're getting on a bit

Wish I'd done those climbs when I was much younger, although I'm making up for lost opportunities

Hello fellow cyclists, A month to go now before the Grande Depart for The Wrong Way Back.

I've stuck a thread in IB so excuse the link here

But if you could chuck me a few quid that would be great....

Flat out in the fens done. 112 miles ranging from damp to wet to very very blowy. 10 minutes quicker than a couple of years ago. Average 19.5 mph until the third feed station and dropped to 16 by the finish. Shows how windy it was for the last 30 miles

There are various leagues, but I've just entered the main game.

Suppose we could have an Org league?
