Nearly. .. I thought it wonderful when the camera bike guy gave Contador at"bravo" when he went back to the group. He certainly forced Sky into hard work on a day they may have marked for recovery. Saturday will see the real fireworks, I think Froome has what it takes to deal with just Contador atta...

He did suffer, but never rule out Nib. There is the possibility that Contador and Froome may destroy one another with so many attacks in the tdf. And Nib is better on the nasty surfaces that they have to negotiate in the first week, can't see either Froome or Contador enjoying the cobbles much and t...

Tube less, tubular tyres...now that's an idea, why has no body tried it? Must admit that having laughed at the various stories of people attempting to use tubular are standard road rims (which does work with low pressure mtb rims) I would be even more amused to see some one attempting tubular to tub...

For Beacon members, it is very easy to get the inside story on the Froome-Wiggins debate. Given the number of Team Sky professionals training on our local roads, any one of us ask the critical question when overtaking them. They are easily identifiable, just look out for the riders wearing a black ...

The fact that fans go get so close to riders and the riders response to this, was one of the things that fascinated me about pro cycle racing in the first place. Over many years there has been a decline in this on most major tours; increasingly fans are separated from the pros by barriers. This has ...

I think I must add that I can't be sure if it this insoles or the carbon soles that make the newer Sidi's more comfortable as the old shoes are too tight to fit them in. I have only ever worn Sidi road shoes since the '90's (there weren't many alternatives in the olden days :) ), but obviously these...

I use Superfeet Black in my recently purchased Sidis and they are wonderfully comfortable on long rides. Wiggle stocks all the superfeet range. There are a couple of different styles for cycling shoes dependent on what you are looking for. They have a decent web site. I also use a different one in m...

Nothing wrong today, they were racing when the incident took place. Cadel is not the most popular person in the peleton, wheel sucker etc,, so he will get loads of stick, but if he hadn't continued to race he would have been condemned by his team. I thought he looked good yesterday as well. The big ...

Not a lot for the sprinters.....although mine wears Pink (I thought Kittel would have least lasted until tomorrow before he got a "tummy bug"). I got the stage winner as well today and Pozzovivo, Pureto, Cunego will all come good. Unfortunately my guaranteed bloke for a top ten finish and at least o...

If you want a belt and braces approach you can instal Basecamp (it's free) on your PC. This will backup all the files from any Garmin unit locally as gpx files and also to a free cloud backup. A reset shouldn't delete history, you usually have to either do this on the unit or with the unit connected...

Stroud 5 Valleys
Stroud 5 Valleys There aren't many Audax rides around that are only 50 km and even fewer that also give you an AAA point. Stroud 5 Valleys does both of these in some style. This http://www.aukweb.net/perms/detail/SP37/ is the link. The route starts in Stroud with free parking at the leisure centre,...

Its always puzzled me why 40+ year old riders want to pitch themselves against people half their age. In Oz races are divided and started by age and ability. IMHO this makes much better races. It just aint no fun having your arse whipped by someone half your age. I had a look at LVRC a few years a ...

Is there any particular reason for that? Any politics that I may not be aware of? I ask, because my occasional racing days were back in the 1980's so am out of touch. I just fancied giving it a go in the summer (trying to get fit and rid myself of injury problems at the present), riding in the 50 + ...
