when free food is being handed out. Although I did return to the fish and chips and mushy peas line a couple of times, followed by steamed sponge pudding and custard and then stilton and biscuits. Maybe my food radar was a little dulled by that point!

Unexpectedly chalked off another life first at CORE… never had mushy peas before, green aren't they? Deelicious too!

I assume, as I didn't notice the Nestle performance food stall...

 They probably secretly own all those sports nutrition brands… not really.

No, a lot of the distrubtors know that bike types like sweeties and they have bowls of them to give out - my kids like 'em even more though

Was some Nik Wash samples, oh, and of course lots of bits of Torq bar, Clif bar, etc etc.

I also liked the look of that Fizik Antares saddle, I even liked the bright orange of the test ones, that wouldn't stop me blagging one if that is the intention!

I liked the strange hairy Brooks saddle on the Brooks/Fizik stand and the fact that that prototype Quintana was actually made of wood!

Those Lezyne pumps were a work of art, I already have a request in for a track pump and a road drive pump!

yeah, 'twas mighty cool. pity you can't get one unless you're a top Brooks dealer... they wouldn't give us one. I did get a Fi:z'ik (or whatever) spirit level though, not much use for me as i have my saddle pointing slightly down. anyone want it? it's the perfect cyclist's DIY accessory...
