I'll be in Bushmills on the Saturday. Caravan stops there in the morning which might be interesting. Looking forward to seeing the race come through at about 1ish.

Pink fever has well and truly gripped Northern Ireland with fishermen, bakers and even farmers getting in on the action.

Just spotted this story from a few days ago, looks like some of the Colombian team are maybe not going to be in Belfast due to problems regarding UK visas:

Bugger, just read that the team presentation on the Thursday is all ticket (free), and on checking the Visit Belfast webpage it states they are "sold out". Oh well.
But as a huge shot in the dark, if any of the Belfast/Northern Ireland chatters hear of anyone with 2 tickets that can't make it can you put in a good word?

the UK visa laws are getting draconian and innocents caught in crosshairs. Have a friend buried in paperwork trying to get his family back to uk for his daughter's future there...they almost are quiting as its so tough

I have decided to buy a souvineer http://www.tweekscycles.com/cycling...ia-2014-stage-one-belfast-short-sleeve-jersey
You got that at a good price , they are selling them at Chain Reaction CRC for £70+ i was in last night in a Belfast branch totally shocked at the price, any wonder why they can't sell them....
Took part in the Grand Italian Fundraiser which took in STAGE 2 of the Giro d' Italia what a great experience the views/surroundings were just amazing .. Thanks to Phoenix CC great event and more importantly all raised monies raised is to be donated to Friends of the Cancer Centre outstanding... Great experience and for the pit stop @the 40k point 2 words top class ..

Which Norn Iron political party is going to endorse itself with Pink Paint ?!You trying to get around the election poster ban??
My Mum is texting pictures of local trees at Stranmillis Roundabout adorned with pink ribbon - I'm thinking a bit of less effete and more traditional road-marking might be in order.
