2011 - Tempetation- Fixie Century Coastal - 16/10/2011
Having all sorts of Internet access so excuse me if I don't cut & paste. I'll just have a coffee for breakfast and am keen to do the train thing out there with Jo, Toff ?, and Alex D. We must find out about this purported track work though!

Cadel 24/7 – Photography from the 2011 Tour de France
Hello everyone! As Secretary of the club I often get contacted by people wanting to promote various things. I normally gently turn them down, but last week sports photographer Mark Gunter wrote a very nice email inviting us to the opening of his exhibition on the 2011 TdF, and that did seem worthy o...

Adventure Rides 2011-6am 11th Sep: The 3 Gorges
Thanks Stuart for a top day out! I've long wanted to do the 3 gorges properly. And a beautiful ride it was. I still can't believe made it - to the start that is.
Happily installed on the coach now, with last night's BBQ leftovers.

Brilliant. Thanks Lizanne! See, you don't hate me. You will after this though: I'm heading overseas on Wednesday and am unlikely to see anyone before then to hand over the loot. But I'll think of something.

Um, where are Lizanne and Chubbs in the latest starters list, and who's running the books? Mike - why are you not riding? I'm sure we'd look tops in matching jerseys. And Eleri, I'm willing to go Welsh, if that's what it takes.

Yep! My favourite (one-day) ride of the year by far. The whole week is excellent, in and around Bright. Amazing cycling, beautiful scenery, fabulous company, great food, and as the week goes on more and more cars covered in bikes roll into town. There's nothing else quite like it.
