  • Doh! Mind flip - I meant St Pancras for a bar - I go through Kings X every day right opposite Eurostar!

    12.19 people still going to Parcel Yard?
  • Parcel yard is a good meeting spot but get to the train in good time.

  • Day 4 .... 9000ft climbing. All feeling tip top and ready to burn!
  • Go Robbie!
  • How's it going?

    Is it Ventoux tomorrow?
  • A couple of pics from Robbie today. Sounded like a hard day and well earned wine and beer at the end.

  • Looking forward to seeing the blue train steaming down the Promenade d'Anglais tomorrow and hearing all the tales of heroism from the past week. You're going to like it here...not so much the race to the sun (you may have seen the best of the weather) but the sea is like a warm bath and the beer cold. Best of luck for the final day!

    There are a few sore heads in Nice airport this morning.
  • Riders.... Bike pick up three tuns 8pm Monday (tmw).
    Martyn there 8pm to 8.30 latest
  • Gents,
    Good to bump into some of you briefly on the mean streets of Nice last night, hope you had a good night...

    Thanks for a brilliant week- a truly epic adventure, that must have pushed most of us to our limits at points (or if it didn't, you didn't ride hard enough!). Great to get to know those of you I hadn't ridden with before; being probably the least experienced rider there, I felt like I learnt a lot from you all.

    Just wanted to ask a massive favour from anyone in Ashwell who's able to help please? We're not flying back till late on Monday night- is there any chance anyone would be able to pick up my bike and bag with theirs, and hold on to it till Tuesday evening please..?

    Thanks very much,
    Dave/TwentyEight.

  • Yep - a truly fantastic week of cycling and banter.

  • Good effort chaps congrats to you all. I dread to think what the non forum friendly photos were. Skelders/vince what on earth was going on in that photo?
