Yeah, could be a riot. 12th-13th July - I'm free. Looks like 50 laps of a 30 minute circuit. 2 riders max on the course at any one time.

Note the second rule:

Each team to have a Team manager. (could be the vital element in the winning or losing)

Circuit images look very pretty.

Anyone found an internet stream for this yet?

jonny - when is the stage up to Zoncolan? Have some holiday to burn so might as well use it doing that.

Disappointed that I'm going to have to give this one a miss. Have a good ride though, hope the weather is fine.

a fleeting Illy spot on Dulwich Road today i think. I was concentrating on lager.

ah yes, was on my way to Westie beers. Were you at the Prince Regent?

I'm there. Probably a bit later on though.

Interesting one. To change the path of the discussion slightly again: there's a bike locked outside my flat which hasn't moved in two months. I've left a note on it with my number saying "This looks like it has been abandoned, give me a ring if you'd like me to take it off your hands".

If the note or bike haven't moved in another month I'm going to be angle grinding it to better use.

But I've been thinking about when to do it, and what I'd say to anyone who challenged me. In a way, I'd like to get the council to do it then give me the bike, but I just can't see that happening. Sunday mornings seem like a good bet, but the neighbours might be annoyed at the noise. A rainy day might be better as there would be fewer people on the street to interfere.

Guy with blonde curly hair + helmet on a red fix off Parker's piece (2nd time I've seen you, you gave me a verbal pat on the back for riding fixed last time on gresham road)

Haha, that's Tom. Say "hi" to him next time you see him and remind him that he owes me an inner tube.

Or when it is raining:

I'd always say Sidis if you can stretch to the cost of them. Think http://www.chainreactioncycles.com is the best place to get them currently. Remember to get one size up from your normal shoe size.

Well done Vinz, that's great news. Best of luck with the surgery.

Ah, that sounds amazing. Sadly not here though.

yes, was nice to have a quick one on my way home in the sunshine.

Aiming to make it for one. Would be good to see how you're recovering, mashton.

shame I missed this one, but was in Wales. Look forward to seeing the pics.

Nice obituary. Really got a sense of the frame from the pictures, and sorry to hear about its eventual demise.

Best kind of rain that.. not having a brake cable makes my brake very effective.
I'm on the Rubble now.. with the womp womp womp womp of a bent rear wheel thanks to missing spoke. Gonna ride it to destruction and get new wheel.

See if you can set the best time on the Tour of Wessex "Bike with missing spoke" category.

Was good fun last year, so looking forward to it again. Hopefully the weather won't be so treacherous this time.

Mount it on the left for signalling right and to reduce the cable curve on its way to the caliper.

Spotted at elephant and castle roundabout in the pouring rain this morning: charge plug, no clips or straps, and a rather large golf umbrella sellotaped to the top tube. Nutter.

I saw that today and gawped for a bit before moving on.

Also, last week, I saw an old, slightly battered one of these outside UCL:

AND, t'other day chatted to a nice guy on a Condor Classico Pista sporting these:

A rare week indeed.

Two great spots. Those campy delta brakes are very special. I tried to buy some once, but was well priced out. :(

Did the Paris bike look more or less like the photo?

Mudguards, best invention ever. My bum is drier than the desert. Can't say the same about my feet, but so happy with my mudguard.

I came in 33rd out of 390 finishers.
Time of 4:43:45. Fastest time was 4:26:16.
I was expecting torrential rain so rode the Ribble.
Woulda knock years off that time with the S-Works. :)
Ended up with awesome weather and the ride itself was fantastic.
Highly recommenddededededed!

Blimey, very well done. Who cares about the s-works, that's a top time for a bike with a fucked derailleur.

yep there were no other fixed in RP on saturday either - apart from one guy stood in the grass (?!) beaming at me as I was spinning wildly down the hill.

yeah i saw him too as I spun round RP, very manic grin!

cool video. but, why did they all feel the need to talk about their biggest accident / mistake as opposed to something more positive, like why they like riding?
