Aldeburgh would be a nice place to stay. They've got the best fish and chips there :)

Not true sadly. They are so popular that you can wait for 20+ minutes, and the pace that they go at, quality is sadly missing. Good, but not worth waiting for anymore.

For Thorpness, there is the famous house in the clouds, which you can rent, and see in the bottom right of the picture, which is awesome :)

Did you guys pass the Dunlwich Paragon rider with the blue string of lights?

Yep, and another with a string of white ones. And two guys with illuminated spokes :)
Was expecting more Christmas trees tbh, but those were fun

EXCEPT the fucking Sim dock

Bah. Exactly the same problem as my Hero :(
I found that at first I needed to replace the Sim card, but now it doesn't work at all, even though everything else on the radio chip works fine

oh, the brake worked somewhat, just had to undo the lever that narrows it down to the rim.
I saw this done in the TDF, felt like a right pro after that :p

Searching for Nicholas Roche quote fail,
Along the lines of: wheel breaking, loosening back brake, then going over the top of the mountain and almost dieing on the first two turns when he forgot he had no back break.

Pro :)

The Whoooshing along was great, until you hit a bit of lane where the verge isn't clearly defined, and outside the range of you're lights you can't see if its left, right or straight on. Although it gives an added adrenaline boost!

Definitely up for a BBQ next year, although we might need truncheons etc. to fight off non-forumites.

The tubes on that BMC are woven around a mould, as opposed to being made of layered sheets of CF - so each thread is spun around the whole tube. Sounds like a (potentially) really good idea

Yeah I think 2 out of 1200 + is pretty good going.

So did anyone figure out what happened with accidents and stuff?
There was talk about a road block that made 300 people stop. I hope everyone came out of it ok?

I think Henry and I got caught up in this, quite early? I think it was a junction just around a blind corner and people stopping to check maps and it just backed up quickly.

We didn't see too many cars, also didn't see too many people who listened to calls but I guess we're not all roadies ... ;p

Still was an awesome ride!

(Not my pics though ...)

Fast road bike, that is ;)

Ah that was fun. Thanks to VB and Seldom Killer for sorting everything out. I can highly recommend a peanut butter bagguete stuffed in your jersy pocket. Worked wonders.
Also thanks to Henry for setting a great pace and being great fun to ride with, and the Dulwhich boys for giving us a new burst of energy for the second half/

Such fun!

nervous now. All packed, about to set off. Just a quick bite of pasta. See you guys at 7:30 ish

Terminator 2.0

Anyone fancy going to LMNH tomorrow to watch the TT before going to the pub tomorrow?

Really intelligent riding - who needs a leadout train?

Also what happened to thor? outside the top 10!

Edit: 14th!

And recycled chamois creme.

12 hour vintage available from Sunday morning ...

I wonder if Andy Schleck would have done better with the help of his brother?

I think its seems like Andy is the stronger so Contador probably would have just marked Andy anyway. Also last year, Andy seemed unsure of weather to keep attacking or wait for Frank. That said it would have probably helped string things out on earlier stages

sweet.
i want to get in around at <10 hours.

Would like to do this also. Can I tag along please? I will have gps mappage, but only about 4 hours battery so only really useful if getting somewhat lost

All this talk of ninjas, what on earth is it?

One of Archie's Grobags AFAIK.

Oww Nicholas Roche!

It seems like the Nike/Livestrong chalk bot only gets to go up the descents. A bit of a swizzle?

Lush forks.
Did you get them powder-coated yourself? lovely lovely :)

The canal.

Mine happened whilst coaching rowers.
Not a nice feeling :(

Anyone ever revived a phone which was drowned and powered itself off while being submerged (i.e., shorted)?

Yes

stick it in a zip loc bag with a load of white rice. Leave it for 24 hours and pray.

That said my mobile connection only works intermittently so its sort of worked. YMMV.
Also, I think the battery might short before the phone, saving the phones innards.

Nope, nothing in the settings.

Also, still no Flash support, I thought that was coming with 2.2

Does it need to be downloaded from somewhere, and if so where?

Apparently you have to dl something from the market for flash [um I'm blind - didn't read the post below yours!]

How does one edit the desktop size/layout?

home - menu - settings - ....
Not sure after that but it should be somewhere in there :)
