100% I'm hot stuff.

Summer kit and overshoes this morning. Pisswet cycling is still a million times better than riding the train :)

ITV must make an absolute killing on that Boardman/£10k competition

Not if you enter for free on the ITV website.

Another Tony Martin 175k solo break would be fine, as long as he actually stays away this time.

This is shaping up to be an awesome tour, I'm looking forward to seeing what Porte can do in the mountains, was well impressed by G's ride today too.

Do people book appointments at kwikfit or just turn up? I guess the police will be checking who had an appointment at kwikfit for that time as well.

Maybe stick wakelock detector on there and see if a recent app update is keeping the phone from sleeping or something?

I was kinda hoping for the dutch lot to do something, got a soft spot for Ten Dam, dribbling his way up climbs. Weening's always fun too, was disappointed he wasn't in the OGE squad for the tour - seemed to be on it lately.

Dunno, Sagan's a good all rounder and will be in the mix on the lumpier sprint stages when the pure sprinters will be a bit shagged out, as well as on the hillier courses with no sprint finish.

Difference will be in the climbers/GC riders. If someone like Rodriguez is deliberately losing time on stages like today, it's because he's going after stage wins and wanting to be let away in the breaks.

I wish i had Rolland now.

Hoping Pinot, Roche and Ten Dam come good when it gets really hilly then.

3rd place somehow, mostly thanks to sagan and kittel. Can't see this lasting.

2nd! I do have Froome though. Also, i haven't watched it yet, don't want to know who won.

Stopped and had a word with the PCSO at angel about the scooters that go beyond the ASL to do a right from city road onto upper street, sit in front of cyclists and lights and thus don't know when they actually have a green.
He agreed what they'd done was illegal but there was only him spotting people and two regulars further up the road stopping people. Not sure I understand his logic.

I will say that I've only ever seen the cops there talking to drivers, never cyclists.

Snapped the chain on my roadie whilst pulling away from lights, narrowly avoiding popping a bollock on the top tube. Not happy about it, was a wippermann connex 10spd, only done 700 or so miles. Didn't snap at the quick link thing either.

in - team name 10cc.

^ Poljot Sturmanskie Zivil

I want this one.

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_9zf14Ez3SYU/TSyl-rpe0jI/AAAAAAAAAig/7hzCeXi8ccc/s800/Poljot%20Sturmanskie%20Civil%20%2810%29.JPG

Any idea where one might source a Poljot Sturmanskie Zivil? Any more easily obtainable equivalents?

I've been paying attention to watches for about 24 hours. I now want a Russian watch that they only made 1000 of. I should just get a casio or something.

Good effort! I was just happy to break 1000k :)

Sven looking serious riding CW around regents park. No time to DAS due to Sven's pace.

From what I've read shoulder-width bars are what's always been suggested as it's supposed to open your chest and ensure your lungs aren't squished.

Adam Hansen reckons that's bollocks and goes narrower for less frontal area. TT positions with arms in suggest lungs aren't getting squished even if your arms aren't wide apart. I guess the answer is to do what's comfortable. I've got 44s which are right according to shoulder-width, but I think they feel too wide. Can't be arsed changing them, so I'll stick with it.

I made a 'no paying for festivals' rule a while back. Been to Glastonbury twice since, once when I played (clang) and once when my mate played. Both times it was a laugh, but I wouldn't have gone if I'd had to pay. Too big, too many bellends, not enough of that proper festival vibe.

This year, my 24 year old brother went with his mates and my 57 year old teetotal mum went by herself. Both had a lovely time (although my mum stayed in the travelodge down the road and made her way in each day). I don't know what that says about the festival, but there you go.

Seiko obvz

Cheers!

Now I've started looking I've come across this which I quite like (more than Seiko's £150 Ti offering). So... If I were to start down this slippery slope, is Seiko still my best bet for £250ish?

^^ saying that, it does remind me of afternoon laps of regents park.
