Me for one.

I enjoyed it, I have enjoyed this one much more than previous series. I also quite like Anna Glowinski, as she seems enthusiastic and was wearing a Sigma Sport top and rides for Mule Bar, and they are all enthusiastic aboiut cycling, worth a like if you do the facebook thing https://www.facebook.com/pages/Team-Mule-Bar-Girl/389805442416
I thought the product placement for Giant a bit over the top and using a bike shop in Crystal Palace a bit stranger, but better than the Café one.

I don't know why you criticise Anna Glowinski, I thought her slot was nice
At least it gave a place to park the bike - boom boom

You know that saying" if you can't say anything nice, don't say it"? Well I'm not going to say anything.

Watched it again last night, and wished I hadn't. I find the whole tone of the show slightly patronising.

What can I say? There's something about his being a bigoted peanut that I just can't resist.

Actually, "peanut" sounds more like the word I wanted to use but didn't as I thought the swear filter would jump in.

Agreed!!
I was quite taken with last nights climb; Trooper Lane, at Halifax, as I've run (well ended up walking....) up it
We went from the very bottom to the top, then over onto Beacon Hill, & down the (wonderful) Magna Via (aka Dark Lane)
I can tell you, it probably hurts more trying to run up it, even if it's only about half-way round a 10 mile race

Schedule doping: the majority of the series has backed up to the TdF highlights so viewing figures will seem higher and maybe they can get higher ad or sponsor prices for the next series... or something.
However, it's not in the top ten shows on itv4 at http://www.barb.co.uk/whats-new/weekly-top-10 - old Bond films occupy the non-TdF spots, so the Cycle Show is getting less than 311'000 viewers. (TdF highlights got 493'000 to 702'000 viewers)
So we're not going to get the chance of that because the series ends with the TDF.

Yesterday's started duller than a dull thing in a beige cardie talking about its favourite plain oatmeal biscuit selection. I gave up half way through at yet another talk on the sofa segment.
Hardly a rousing end to the series. IMHO.

I was going to watch on catch up, but you're not selling it to me...

I've only watched a bit of the NCN 20th anniversary feature so far. It was a bit mixed but better than most of the reports. The presenter was on a road bike, which doesn't seem the ideal choice for a rail trail but I've recently gotten a road bike again because it's lighter and easier to transport so I might well be trying that stretch (NCN24 Two Tunnels) on one too.

It looked monstrous. I wouldn't like to try riding down it either.

This series was less interesting than the others. I enjoyed the climbing section most.
