Note that this can be broken into segments and spread around a number of volunteers rather than one person checking the whole route(s).

    Will probably tag along for a bit, at least until Stewarton then bale for Luggie and home. I hope its better (warmer) weather than yesterday. Cold is not good, sleet is just horrible. Binned my ride after 2 hours due to iced up digits. M

  6. American Flyers is the greatest movie ever made! 2 seconds another classic, this ones for you Chung lots of bikey mechanicy talk(but might be a bit Artsey for you West of Scotland folks) Not one for the Vegans, 6 part documentary Slaying the Badger but what a story(although Lemond is full of ****) and lastly probably the most realistic cycling movie ever!

  7. You can pretty much find anything on youtube. I particularly like the Mitchelton-scott videos. They do a wee video on every stage (I recently went back and watched all the giro and Veulta ones).

  8. I watched A Sunday in Hell on YouTube last week during man flu incident. Still a brilliant atmospheric film that captures the insanity and glory of Roubaix

    Chapeau Jan and Cedric, I'm sitting here thinking life is just too short to miss a track Saturday (and I just said the exact same thing on the bogs bunch )

  13. cracking afternoon for Cedric today - i think it was couple of firsts plus also a third and probably a top 5 (maybe top 3). As for me nothing results wise but at least found it a bit easier than the last time i was racing so a bit of progress.
