Great news Alastair! Glad you started pinning some numbers on over here. You’re going to enjoy the road racing scene I think, and I have no doubts you’ll do exceedingly well on it too! Congrats on the win!
-
Would love to but had a bit of a bounce myself last week on the CX bike and fractured my wrist. Might have a spin tomorrow and see if it hurts still then decide. Really want to do this route though!

Hi Chris, glad you keep on waving at cyclists, I do too, and I even used to ride time trials! You’d be surprised how infrequently accidents happen in groups, its very rare that anybody comes acropper on the club runs with Ashwell and the Nomads, …

Hi Mark, I’d be up for this if it would work with me having a fairly weekend heavy schedule. If it won’t, then I’ll give it a miss but am interested!

Geoff, everybody else was spoiling my main course by taking spoonfuls of it and sticking it on their plates...

Cheers for sorting it all out Stef, it was brilliant again, despite the weather. Anyway, if you go to Belgium and come home without having had a mouthful of mud from the roads out there then it’s just not the same. The ride to Calais was truly dri…

Many thanks to the tyre sages of CCA. A wide spectrum of views to have a think about. I used to race with Latex inners on my road bike and TT bike. Always felt a little smoother on the corners but more importantly when you puncture they go down a lit…

We missed most of the rain and the wind wasn’t as unfavourable as we thought it would be. Jumped on a ferry around 8 after a 130 miles in the saddle. Hotel Meurice was emptied of pastries this morning before we rode over to Diksmuide and then out f…

If you haven’t already stuck them on, whack some vaguely fresh winter tyres on! The speed difference between your GP4000S and Gatorskins is nothing compared to the amount of time spent hanging around waiting for the 8th puncture of the day to …

Yes, lights are a must!

Hi all, this is a request for some emergency cover on this event! I’ve just had some work come in last minute so can no longer help out. It looks like we’re low on volunteers (again) for the TT so any help would be hugely appreciated! Sorry to ha…

Oh, and kudos for Rob for riding the F14/25 today in 68 mins. I’ve just been struggling to stay awake at work all day...
-
I also fell asleep on my living room floor whilst attempting to roll my legs on the foam roller when I got in...

Lovely day out, coasted up to Wells at a steady 17 point something mph under vaguely sunny overcast skies with a stop in Ely and then another midway between there and wells. Fish and chips and a quick turn around saw us leaving wells around half 1, h…

If James doesn't want them when you're selling them I might take them off your hands!
-
I’ll be there for sure!
-
For those of us contemplating the return journey, if the weather is as GOOD as Martin has forecast then leaving the tuns at 6.30am will be a good idea. We will stop several times for food and topping up bottles etc, but make sure you have plenty to e…

Hopefully I’ll be able to pop down too! Edit: I can’t, sorry! Damnit, that chocolate Guinness cake is pretty special.
-
I would be up for this when I’m free.
-
I should be able to help out at this event...
-
I should be around to help out where needed.

Congratulations on getting your elite license, Mitchy! Great news. Also glad to hear you’re binning your job and turning pro for next year’s grass track season. Have you told Jo yet?
-
Hi Mat, I’ll take a couple of pairs of the non-aero ones please in a large!
-
Hiya, what’s the long sleeve tmg jersey like? Good condition? Can’t remember what those ones were like...
-
Last time we did the trip there and back it was 200 miles at around 17mph I seem to remember. That was with myself, Robbie, Martin H, JMac and Shaun? I think? I'm getting old, memory's off on one...
-
I'd like to add a pro SS jersey in a small too and a pair of pro bibs in small if that's possible... no worries if it's gone already.
-
Probably could have been said without bringing a nationality into it I should imagine. Never a good thing to accuse an entire nation of behaving in one way.
-
I’ve been down in the Pyrenees this week watching bits of it when I can and have seen quite a lot of booing towards the team sky cars/coaches from a lot of cycling fans down here. It’s a sad state of affairs... but then the French press are well …

Anybody up for a return trip?
-
Something else you might want to try is letting the bunch go past you on the climbs on the laps when things arent’ happening. If all of the fast looking guys are lolling around in the bunch before the climb then it’s unlikely the winning break wi…
