Nothing To See Here, Move Along
My wife and I (grammer) had been commenting on how this tour resembled those of the 80s and early 90s than any after, say, 1995. A proper duel between climbers and not something that is going to be decided entirely by time trials.
Lots of riders just didn’t seem to be doing as well as they […]

We may be a few days behind the official launch of the new Cotic Hemlock, but as we blew the gaff almost a year ago now we see no shame in that.
It’s a true four bar design, and a lot of thought has gone into the rocker options and setup […]
It’s the raised ‘m’ logos wot confused me. Clicky for websites and some loverly lugs.

I might have found a venue. The gravel surface is reminiscent of the high mountain passes of the grand tours of the 50s. Bring your best St Raphael jersey.

Caution - Drug Use Ahead
With all the drug confessions rampant at the moment it’s probably as good a way of telling who should have won a race in the ’90s as any other.
“My yellow jersey is in box at home, you can come and collect it,” said Riis of his [1996] Tour performance.

After a scorching hot fifty-miler out into roadie training territory yesterday (a ride round one of the favourite loops of pretty much all the local racing clubs and the more-distant CTC branches) I was wondering about the ettiquette of arm-warmers.
Or more precisely, when can you dispense with them? And the knee warmers and overshoes. The […]
Rick bending tubes
Rick Hunter has finally got his website active so that us on this side of the Atlantic can admire, and purchase, his wares. I’d love to be able to justify/afford one of his cyclo-cross frames.
24 April was the 75th anniversyary of the Kinder Scout Mass Trespass.
I would have gone out and ridden cheeky on the day but my plans for a day off work were scuppered by, well, work. And we don’t talk about work here so we’ll say no more.
Anyway, two days late I rode out to the […]
Intervals (shush!) have revealed that I currently have more fitness than Kirsty.
So today, with a ten mile trip to the stables in the offing, things needed evening out. As we only have two properly road suitable bikes - the Lemond and the Pompino - she could have opted for gears. But, fickle thing that she […]
I can report that the North Face Trail at Grizedale has just recently achieved XC-Jey Boy perfection. The top surface has bedded down nicely. The finer gravel has been washed away, to be replaced by the remnants of pedal reflectors from inappropriate bikes, and the underlying rocks are showing through nicely to add interest to […]

Actually we‚re lying about the Maverick since some low-life stole it.
A dogs dinner of links to stuff that we have arranged in an apparently random manner, though I assure you it made sense at the time.
You know it makes sense.

in no particular order...
For all that we like the up-to-the minute offerings of the web there‚s nothing like a proper badly photocopied A5 fanzine or a glossily printed proper magazine to keep you occupied on the throne. Here, in no particular order, is our material of choice.
In the UK as we give away our civil liberties in the name of freedom it might be handy to be aware of Photographers Rights.
Don’t let The Man stop you shooting.
If anyone has a full set of NEMBA results (that‚s North of England for you colonial types) then please forward them.
sometimes you just gotta take action, or at least be able to get our hands on the FACTS
