Mike and Jessica have always been great to me, turning up at random on their doorstep while on a Canadian roadtrip and smuggling #50 back to the UK.
Frank Skurlock has always been perfectly pleasant when I’ve raced with him […]
“A Scottish cycling champion has died after a collision with a van”

Update:
We’ve had good weather today too, it would have been nice to be at the top of Ingleborough in something other than cloud for a change.
Scurrilous gossip and rumours…
Kona are dropping their sponsorship of Sleepless In The Saddle in favour of the Bristol Bikefest. Meanwhile SITS itself is moving away from Catton Park to a new venue.
Future Publishing have handed control of their cycling publications to the man previously in charge of their Mickey Mouse, sorry, Disney, magazines. That explains […]

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.

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.
