Definitely do it.

I decided to have a go this year, I didn't bother doing a tandem but went straight into the AFF course. I can't think of anything I've done that comes close in terms of the rush...

Lots given there's a 20 second win bonus on every none TT stage. Wiggo will have to ride a bit differently than in the tour to win this one although he has apparently been practising that. Will be...

Played here on Monday:

Beautiful course and the clubhouse was pretty impressive too (that's it in the...

He's a reasonable bet for most races these days. But he's not entered for Roubaix this year surprising and I'd agree with the Ronde being a decent indicator for the Roubaix. Pozzato will probably do...

IMO the best way to do this is to go with your local village pub idea although it can be very hit and miss. This would work well if you went to the Lake District, Peak District, North Wales etc....

Lovely, reminds me of my season out there. Good times, thanks for posting.

To be fair it's hard to deliver mail when you have two thumbs on each hand. The main problem with UK post is that they do like to go on strike. It's also either very good or takes forever, there's no...

There's always the Aussie way to deal with this, may involve some collateral damage...

Very nice.

I hope to be leading the charge in ripping off your trench shots this season, sweet art skillz.

Yes and No, like you said in Germany and Swtiz it is; but getting a bike on a train in France is a pain in the arse. I found it was easier and cheaper to drive from the UK than work out the how, when...

Parts of the inner cities of, for example, Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia. Correct me if I'm wrong though. I know it's an unfair comparison but here an outbreak of gun crime is national news* and...

Two types of estate: the posh sort e.g. Balmoral and the inner city sort. Polar opposites, I got quite confused about this when I was 8.



Hardly, the massive majority of the UK is middle class....

It's hard to say exactly. Firstly yes kids (as young as 11 in some cases but generally 14-18) are involved but it's not just kids, they make the news as it's so shocking they're involved. I doubt...

It's been an interesting couple of nights here for sure. Fortunately it's been relatively quiet by me although a pub about half a mile away got torched last night. Nothing as yet tonight although...

Picture 9, the guy in the blue top...

Just got home from 10 days in the Oisans, watched the stage on the Alpe D'Huez. I knew they'd be fast but the speed they go up those climbs at even after...

Absolutely horrific, I was watching and it was instantly apparent that it was very very serious, to be honest I feel a bit sick thinking about it. Obviously my thoughts are with his family, friends...

Can't really recommend it but there's one out here called Ice Up http://www.cordee.co.uk/CTD066.php not sure how available it is in the USA either.

Might be worth having a look on some blogs to...

I drafted two chapters before Christmas, by the end of May I'd drafted two chapters. I did finish it in the end but post-viva corrections delayed departure for last season.




Yeah I doubt it...

Into the last month now, late season snow in Europe can be amazing, we went to Montgenevre in April and found this

That’s a 135...

Ogling Les Oisans, A TR.

This is the story of my first season in the Alps in 08-09, I meant to post it in summer but climbing, cycling and surfing...

I did last season in Nendaz, pretty much everything has been covered already but you can get free wifi access in the cactus and canadien bars although you'll need to buy a massively expensive drink,...

Luck I guess, if it had been a few inches further forwards or back then... I knew a guy last season who hit a bridge under his foot, shattered his ankle. Mind you can't get hung up over these things...

Picture of the face taken this morning, there's been a tent at the Col De La Chaux (on the way up the Bec Des Rosses) for the past...

Been reading these forums for a while and enjoying all the stoke so thought it might be time to post some of my own. All photos taken this season in the Verbier area, I’m not much for words so I hope...
