Hi Nat, nice pics - can I take them please? Cheers, Dave.

Brilliant, thanks Stef! Very excited about it, never ridden in Belgium before - anyone got any recommendations of other areas of Belgium/Netherlands to ride around? We have a blank slate (and a camper van) for the week at the moment - we'd like to se…

Hi Stef, As it happens, it looks like Jenny and I are going to be travelling around Belgium for the week leading up to your weekend in Diksmuide - we'd love to join you all for the big ride on Saturday - do you think it would be possible to add us fo…

I'll be up if it's not chucking it down when I leave home at 5.30...

It's really good - we saw it in Hertford a few weeks ago - definitely worth a watch...

Ambleside/County Durham/Heckington Roadtrip: a brief(/wordy) precis... This week saw a continuation of the Ashwell/Contour Alliance to stage a raiding party of ‘The North’, focussing on two of the most lucrative events in the grass track calenda…

Hi Geoff, hope you're well. All looking good for the next few days - Jenny and I will be leaving straight from work today, so will be with you probably sometime before 9, and the others following soon after in their van... See you in a bit, Cheers, D…

James - just realised why all the diary confusion - whilst the title gives the correct date, the first line still has last year's details, hence the mix ups on dates...!
-
James do you want me to ride, or marshall?
-
James, I can make it now - what's more use to you - a rider or a marshall? I'll bring a cake of some sort.

I can come and help, but on bike, so no car...

Re: normalised power Martin - depends on your weight and size - if you weigh 95kg (not saying you do!), that's probably a fairly easy ride, but if you're a 55kg climber, that would probably be a very hard ride! Was the person who's power meter that w…

Happy to help, but I won't have a car with me...

We tend to use Yellow Jersey for racing abroad- never had to claim yet, but they let you insure for just a few days at a pretty reasonable cost. Otherwise, it's British Cycling's promoted insurers, Thistle, for year round insurance, that includes dam…

Thanks to the marshalls (and traffic warden;-)), timers and pusher, must have been a bit chilly out there in the breeze last night..!
-
From memory, I think it was the other way round, I'm afraid Graham - the youngest groups start first... I reckon you should be able to qualify ok, though - it's a bit of a numbers game, but if you're in the race pens it does give a bit of an advantag…
-
Sorry Jamie, I'd really like to have raced this one, but it clashes with a wedding... Hope you manage to fill it!
-
Hi Graham! Fun event; how hard it is depends on how windy it is on the Fens, and how desperate you are to qualify for the finals... Last year was brutal, finished in 3hours15, which was enough to qualify, but I was in bits by the end, and snapped …

Sorry, I'd like to do this one, but we're away for a wedding.

Last call for fantasy Giro entries! Only takes 2 minutes!
-
Nice one Nat, good result! I love the bowl...!
-
Hello, Sorry, just seen these messages- direct messages are a bit hit and miss for me for some reason... I don't particularly want to ride this week, so I should be available to help- if someone will tell me where I find the keys for the hall and th…
-
Thanks Geoff! We'll drop you an email nearer the time...
-
Thanks Geoff, this would be great- I think we're up for it, subject to the weather not turning disastrous. Our plan emerging is to take Friday off and drive up early to catch the Women's stage near Ilkely and see some relatives while we're there, the…

Great pics Stiggers! A good representation of how grim it was - we had to turn the heating in the car right up...

Stage 3: Without doubt, the most fun I have ever had in a race. Just the other day, we were having a discussion about when the general racing experience turns to one of using strategy and having a job to do, from just being eyeballs-out, grimly hangi…

After yesterday's aquatic TT shenanigans, the Tour Organisers moved last year's difficult hilly stage from the final day to the second stage. Blasting winds this morning, really glad I decided to change my front wheel to the shallow rim for this stag…
