Friend's Life Women's Tour 2014 final podium pic credit SweetSpot)Video - Promo released for June's 2nd edition of Friends Life Women's Tour
One of the UK’s cycling highlights in 2014 was the inaugural edition of the Friends Life Women's Tour – and ahead of the return of the race in June this year, organisers SweetSpot have released a promo video looking back at last year’s event.
Won by Rabobank-Liv’s Marianne Vos, the five-day race was screened on ITV4, and the video features the channel’s Ned Boulting, as well as footage of some of the action.
This year’s race will take place from Wednesday 17 to Sunday 21 June, with route announcements made during January and February.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Well I certainly produce a considerable steam by-product at this time of the year....

That's a shame. He seemed like a decent guy and he had a good no-fuss website. Bought a few things from him over the years and he was contactable...
It's mentioned in benefit #2 in the article...
Pneu ballon and hookless rims are back, I still have some 27" Birmalux rims in the shed somewhere.
Well yes, but it is the holidays
I have the gross misfortune to live on her "patch". The state of roads policing (and the actual roads) and consequent danger everytime one gets on...
Thank you for that excellent forensic analysis, I couldn't figure out where I'd gone wrong! Must drink more coffee and put on glasses before trying...
Effective little things. Even have them on my Good Bike, my least reflectored. Still working through packs of them I got very cheap at Tesco.
