'Chapaeu' To Cav and the rest of the British Team - amazing performance throughout the race and an incredible finish. Sport on TV doesn't get any more exciting. You have to feel sorry for Spartacus, how on earth the judges gave the Bronze Medal to …

Great weekend away - a BIG THANKS to Richard and Stef for organizing the trip, Jeremy for driving me there and the rest of the lads for the fun on and off the bike. Overdid the malted recovery drinks a bit on Saturday night, anyone have any recollec…

Jeremy, I'll drop my bike off at your place on Thursday evening too, at a time to suit you. Please send me your address and preferred bike drop off time - vic-brown@vbrown.fsnet.co.uk Cheers Vic

Fantastic route Martin, perfect weather too -a big thanks from me for organising this ride. I enjoyed it all with the exception of my exploding Pro 3!! Thanks for everyone's patience and help sorting it out. Never has a a cold pint, or three, of lag…

Badges? We don't need no stinking badges (or 'Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers' - a phrase I keep saying to myself whenever I'm cycling downwind of a decomposing one!) Actually, I'd love one and hope I can earn it on Friday looking forwa…

I should be able to get over for noon and help all afternoon. Do we park up the track, or off site and walk up? Vic

I have Michelin Krylions on my winter bike and they survived months of wet riding without cuts or punctures. However, I'm glad they didn't puncture, as they are the hardest folding tyre to fit that I've come across. Both the Krylion and the Pro 3 Ra…

Richard, I'll deliver a cheque to your house on the way to the ride on Wednesday. Vic

Put me down to help Chris, I can manage any of the required tasks as I help run a fundraising BBQ at various large local events for our local scout troop several times a year and have done all of the above jobs before. Vic

At this rate it looks like you'll have to dig up a poster for The Dirty Dozen soon Martin! Bagsy John Cassavetes if you do! Vic

It's the 7th Today - So, I make the 14th next weekend. Wristbands still looking for a good home Vic

Result - I'm in and I'll bring the crackers! Vic

I'm up for this ride in theory, just need to get a green card from 'her indoors' first, before I can make it a reality. It all depends on whether or not she has an unmovable meeting pop up on that day, in which case I'll be entertaining my kids inst…

It will be a scorcher on Zorg on Saturday the 12th as I'm reliably informed that both sun's are in allignment. Mind you the bikes on Zorg don't look up to much! Life on Planet Zorg

Just put this topic on top to remind members that the fabulous film, 'Chasing Legends', is on ITV4 tonight at 8pm, straight after the TDF highlights show. Wonderful photography in this film which follows the HTC Columbia Team in the 2009 Tour de Fra…

I fully agree Geoff, I was watching live yesterday afternoon and couldn't believe the stupidity of the Tele France driver. If anyone has seen the incident yet, it's on-line and so are pictures of Hoogerland's horrific lacerations (Warning not for th…

Great ride chaps, let's muster at Bob's next week and do it again!
Vic -
Perhaps Assemble would be a better verb, not only does it mean 'Gather together in one place for a common purpose' but also seems appropriate for those who drive and fit their wheels onto their bikes when they get there!
Vic -
Scorchio!!
Great ride, route and company - I know I couldn't have done it on a fixie or with Stella as a mid-ride beverage!
Enjoyed a couple of malted recovery drinks when I got back home and a high protein BBQ to help the m… -
Stef,
Regular Medium for me.
Vic -
The route comes past Gamlingay at 30 miles, so I'll treat myself to a lie-in and leave home just after 10. I should meet up with the blue train somewhere near Everton Hill around 10.15.
Route for those that haven't found it on the main … -
£90 is too rich for me - make mine a medium regular too.
Vic -
Stef,
I think I'll take Kit's advice then and order a Pro Large
Vic -
Pro shirt for me Stef.
I'm not sure if I can get away with medium in pro though - I'm fine with medium normal. How much tighter is the pro?
Is anyone with a pro shirt in medium or large riding on Wednesday? - it's probably a… -
Chris,
Your place is on my route to Ashwell, so it's no problem.
Would 19-30 or shortly after be OK? Time to get a drink in beforehand and a seat near the back to avoid being press-ganged into service!!

12 of us were 'Out There' yesterday morning; making the Blue Train longer than Kate's white one by a long way!
A brisk Two Bridges ride (39 miles at 17.9mph) was enjoyed by all those who wished to avoid the Wedding and take advantage of near tr… -
Hi Chris,
I'm running 'Dad's Cabs' for my son tonight, so, sorry I can't help - you'll just have to limit your alcohol consumption and be fresh for the ride tomorrow morning!

I really enjoyed this morning's ride - 56 miles at 15.9 by the time I got back to Gamlingay the long way, via Croydon Hill.
Thanks David.
Very well done to Rebecca; especially given her small wheels and chain rings.
