Croque monsieur? Sounds like an old school TDF cafe raid. Did he manage to filch a bottle of brandy and stash it in his back pocket?
In burford enjoying a whole foccacia to myself. Trev went for the croque monsiuer. We left 30m late so running behind a bit
Good going...makes me pucker up just thinking about being in the saddle for that long. I wonder if they'd be up for a little detour to join me for tea and cake on the seafront in Brighton this afternoon.
Two cyclists killed every week. I wonder how many cyclists' deaths could be prevented by drivers driving more considerately. In the meantime… I just want more cycleways - more safe space for cyclists! How else do we get Britain cycling? Please. Thanks.

Looks like they're hitting Burford on schedule - I was hoping to ride out there myself to have coffee and cakes with them but sadly have been unable to get away from the house - well done gents, enjoy your break, and happy riding the rest of the day.
Great bike riding weather in this part of the country
But... but... it's "safety in numbers". *splutter*.
Or could it be the safety of Dutch cyclists is more to do with the infrastructure than the sheer numbers?
good effort so far gents, making good progress
Yeah - interesting to note that cycling has only just come close to the 1990 figure again - are we seeing the effect of economic boom-&-bust cycles at work here?
Mobydick64.............I hope your rims are suitable for 145psi? The tyres tell one story but it needs to be read in conjunction with the rims' design. Regards
Going good guys,Keep it up !
That saddle looks a bit high !!
From the trace they look like they have taken a wrong turn! Colchester is East not NW.
Ruled Cav out, have Thor as my sprinter.
Hadn't thought about American classics or williams system so will have a look. Have now shortlisted following my post to the DA's or 2nd hand zipps.I did look at the Reynols assault but seem to be a few reviews around about broken spokes and even some rim problems so i have binned them from my shortlist. So 2nd hand zipp's or DA 7900 c50's. just need to find the cheapest and compare against the £1100 or so for mint 2nd hand zipps
Anyone know the cheapest place for the DA's 7900 c50?
I'm looking at medium depth rims too. Dura-ace 7900 C50 are the latest model and are a bit lighter than Dura-ace 7850 C59. About 150 grams lighter.
If you want an aluminium braking surface the DA 7900's are the way to go, unless you can afford/justify Zipp 404's.
My shortlist includes the DA 7900's, Reynolds Assaults, Williams System 58, American Classic 420 aeros.
I hope there'll be someone at home in Colchester to let you in. You have told them you're coming have you?
I like Vredstein Fortezza Tri-comps too. Low rolling resistance and gummy compound offers great grip. No punctures in 500 miles but my rear tyre has sveral deep cuts - at least the puncture protection seems to be working. I have mine inflated to 145psi - which is what Vredstein recommnds, but may be less prone to getting cut up if they were inflated less.
hardcourt is the jam.
"9 (grasscourt) teams contesting the euro champs?" REALLY?
come play hardcourt. the battle to be one of the 48 teams at worlds is currently happening at qualifier tournaments worldwide.
leagueofbikepolo.com
also, very very few people play hardcourt competitively with fixed gears so that's no longer a vlaid association. (but watch out for X2)
not that sketchy by city riding standards but still poor form for a cop
@ gerald(soldier1980) what about pagan cyclists? we need to repent too?
the real winner of this debacle is the horrendous title.
in a few weeks, I expect to read about
Shleck Sloppily Shlecks chain off, Suddenly Shlecking his Stage Superiority; Surly Saxo Sues Shimano
Well its Norway or Belgium for me and they aint both in the sprinters class
Hhhmm.
I reckon you picked
Swift for stage 3
Jose Joaquin Rojas Gil, Ciolek, Hushovd & EBH, Voeckler & Bonnet and Navardauskas
You'll need to change em now
Not for me there aint, stage 3 will be a brit to win, stage 1 will be from spain, belgium, norway, france or lithuania. if you manage to fathom out the potential winners in my team from those clues

how can two people win it? Are you predicting a dead heat on stage 1? That's a brave pick!
