well

I did afterwards, The Blackfriars to be exact.

Anyway, so who is this Ian on CC? Johnson Wheelers, that's Paisley (more or less) isn't it?

Well my name is ian i'm from paisley but not a wheeler i did look into joining and arranged to go on a couple of club runs but to be honest they seemed a little elitist to me

That is what I was thinking when I saw this one of lizzie on her last lap going up it

Takes me all my time to walk up Montrose St, I don't think I could cycle up it, never mind 8 times, and never mind using it as a perfect place to launch an attack as it was described on ITV4s coverage....

Didn't see the bulldogs at Glasgow Green, but my black lab enjoyed his day out and even took a passing interest in the race:

very sporting of Millar to hold the pace up a bit to let Stannard get back on after flatting

I've cycled up it a few times. It's quite short so the steepness isn't too bad at all. And it is the perfect place to attack because a strong push on a short steep hill can catch opponents unawares and you can be lengths ahead before they've even got their gears sorted out. Mind you, I love hills...

Nice photo but maybe you could crop that woman out of it? Not that I know anything much about photography!

Oh, I rather liked the slightly incongruous juxtaposition of the woman casually strolling by. Adds an extra narrative dimension to the pic.

It brings a certain Martin Parr-esque aspect to it doesn't it ? If you cropped her, only the railings would remain in focus... ;-)

That's the key bit, I hate them! I must admit, I did enjoy watching Lizzie Armitstead do exactly that at one point in the race (not on the Montrose St hill), incredibly impressive stuff.

I liked this one better (http://imgur.com/a/Mqn0Q#vtQfzXK), like the guy strolling along with his hands in his pockets.
