Sorry TB mate! We agreed in another thread that after the highlights we could give spoilers. But I shouldn’t of assumed the same in this thread. Hope it didn’t spoil the action for you.

Just jossing watched it live .

Me, bob, breedon, and Lee did that stage a few weeks ago whilst in the Pyrenees. That last climb in particular, Col du Portet, was fecking brutal. They were still laying the gravel when we tried it. We literally had to navigate round the trucks that were flattening it out. Brilliant though. Completely brilliant! Soon I’ll be trying to talk you guys into thinking about doing something similar next year. There’s a fair bit of banter involved but it’s genuinely not a race. It’s impossible to race to be honest. You just go as fast as you go. And share something quite magic. It’s impossible to not have a brilliant time so have a think about it guys. Total escape for a few days!

Jealous much

So true, your pace is what counts

It felt completely out of reach to me doing something like that. Then you get there, and maybe a part of you wishes you’d done it sooner. But it’s never too late.

@theboxers .
The two dudes @berty bassett and @TurboTommy are like the cool guys smoking cigatettes. You know buying a new bike every other week isn't good for you but they sure make it look hip and "with it. "
I just park my new Orbea downtown and lean against it looking casual and I'm pretty sure the babes think, who is that bad boy.

Edit: I left out @kipster who is also a serial bike buyer.

I have a 19 year old daughter who has dyed her hair, shaved it to a number 1 down one side, and is dating a guitarist in a band. She’s on a gap year and having an absolute ball. In contrast I’m more familiar with the jingles from kids tv shows than any current music. And me and the missus seem to be having a conversation on permanent loop... it’s about a carpet that needs replacing... Whenever I think I’ve escaped it, another permutation raises its ugly head... at this point I’d settle for sawdust loosely sprinkled on the floor and the missus rolled up in the old carpet, ready for a buoyancy test ! Anyways...

I think it’s fair to say I’m somewhat lagging behind in the cool stakes in my household, but I do feel better for this mini rant!

And I do love new bike day!!!
