strong and stable with me, or...
What do we think...
what I wouldn't want, is that rear 'cassette' landing on me.

Oh ouch. Just to have that land on me when it is stationary would be bad enough, I hate to think what it would be like if it was still spinning.
I wonder if the wear on the rear cassette would be more than for our normal set up. I think, for me, it goes into the pile of things I enjoy thinking about, but won't buy.

Errrr, talking of paying attention a couple of pages ago...? ;o)
Ha, during the World Cup Martin Keown tells book readers they need to 'get a life'.
2 weeks later and Ned is quoting 'Jean Paul Sartre seminal work' in French before translating it into English.

To be fair to Mr Keown, as well you probably know, he said [anyone reading a book during England v Sweden] needs to get a life. I don't think he was having a pop at book reading in general.

Yes but we all know what he actually meant, and would have said it too if working on ITV
Anyhoo, way back when I seriously chuntered on about a new and obviously pointless cycle path being built between Bognor and Littlehampton.
Obviously nobody was going to ride it, both ends just finished and the actual road was straight and wide.
Well now it's finished I can take great delight in saying WRONG.
Obviously it's no Amsterdam but there are certainly more people riding on it than ever did before.
The other day 3 'normal' cyclists hopefully took great delight in overtaking a long tailback of congested traffic.
I should have believed the adage 'build it and they will come'.

I wouldn't think so, there's time to rest on the flatter stages we have now.
They should sue the person for breaking his back. They could cost the spectator quite a lot of money, which could be a lesson to others who get too close.
A few spectators from yesterday have been arrested for interfering with the race.
I'm yet to listen but for the latest kilometre 0 podcast in which Lionel Birnie went to Dutch Corner expecting to do a vignette on passionate fans, only to actually do 20 minutes on the security situation.

Used it a couple of weeks ago on a mid Week Social ride. Absolute bliss.
But what will that actually amount to? Suing the one who took down Nibali could cost the **** a lot of money.
Just about to put my feet into the shoes ordered Thursday evening.
They look narrow.
More to follow

Don't panic they aren't narrow, left foot feels very comfortable.

Right foot equally as comfortable.
Test ride to follow this afternoon.
First impressions would suggest they are more of a £217 pair of shoes (not that I know what they are like) than a £59.99 pair.
They most definitely are not a £59.99 pair of shoes.

And finally.
A short 2 mile spin around the village and the shoes were great.
Worryingly I put on a pair of cleats without paying to much attention thinking I'll make the necessary changes afterwards and even they were spot on.
I'll have a full ride on Monday but as it stands I'll tentatively give these a big
if your looking for a shoe upgrade.

Bahrain Merida are considering suing the race organisers - read it this morning. Doubt they will go after the individual with the camera tbh.
Spectators throwing liquids over Froome and Froome alone today.
Boardman tried to remain open minded, saying they may have been trying to provide much needed cooling water to Froome.
Scummy tw*ts I reckon.
