The link seems to take you into half way. Don't watch from there. Watch from the very beginning.

Cheers 1066. It being nearly an hour long I am saving that for later. Looking forward to it!

Lost for words hearing about the death of Bjorg Lambrecht today in the Tour of Poland. Such a talented kid with a great career ahead of him. Stunned....

What! That makes me feel physically sick reading this as I was just about to watch stage 3 on catch up.
I'm lost for words, aside from thoughts and prayers with friends and family.
As you say, such a massive talent.
RIP

I was the same 10....still cant believe it this morning. He was destined for great things I reckon.
Saw a video on a Belgian news site this morning and, while you (thankfully) cant see him or the crash directly (you just hear it before the camera pans around), it looks like he simply went off the edge of the road into a ditch, and struck a concrete pillar / gate to someones property. The peloton were rolling along a straight bit of road quite calmly at the time. 6ft either side and I think he probably would've climbed back on and finished the stage. Absolutely heartbreaking & cruel...

RIP Bjorg Lambrecht. Felt a bit sick reading that.
How is the hand [MENTION=2878]Woodchip[/MENTION]. And well done for doing the sort of thing I would have done.
Took my stuff to Spain but didn't hire a bike in the end. Too much of a kerfuffle and far too fukken hot.

After my bike got from the station during that fateful day we got our arses handed to us by Cardiff the replacement arrived today
A significant upgrade on what I had that's for sure.
Been for a blast through the woods this afternoon and loved it, first full sus mtb for me, made riding over the dried up hoof marks from horses a lot less uncomfortable
This is NEVER going near a train station cycle rack.
Looking forward to tomorrows commute now and cant wait....
Need to get my fitness back first and the old padded shorts will be dug out for the first time in a while too....
Been trying to upload a picture but it wont do it 'upload of jpeg..... failed"

[MENTION=3858]Motogull[/MENTION] Had my op on the hand. 4 weeks in this cast, then by the sounds of it I get a removable one so I can exercise my hand. Probably another 6-8 off the bike. Good job it's not summer.
Bored of being useless already. Lol

Out with my mate Phil today and he's gone oval.
Says he likes it, thinks it's improved his pedalling but recons it doesn't make him any less fatigued.

You what now? Typical home counties NIMBYS. I'm sure they'd much prefer a hunt to congregate there.

Great stuff.
What is the make and model? Is it a 29er?
I have been cycling in ski resorts in the Pyrenees recently on my FSR Stumpjumper and it is the most fun I have ever had on two wheels. Ignore Stat, as usual, the man is an elitist philistine.
Road CC have been covering this.
It's absolutely insane.

New bike has arrived...very pleased with it, despite the absolutely awful experience I've had with Tredz. I was worried about the colour, but needn't have been - it looks lovely. In the process of putting a few bits on & making it my own and will await the vouchers / compensation they are sending me as an apology for taking 2 months to get it sorted!

Need to swap out the front wheel and tyre to match the rear, but pretty much done otherwise!
Oh yes, I like that. What long nipples you've got on that front wheel!
