Upstairs, that's UPSTAIRS.

I'm not upstairs, I'm downstairs.


If it'll make you happy I'll send a child.

Some people, it's all me me me.

Turn on Strava and get yourself up there. Good climbing points to be had.

SB, you pull me up about my avatar, but your sig?

I was hanging on so I could quote my own brilliance at cycling tips.

I guess I'll have a long wait.

Wiggle have the same Garmin for £96.79.

£93 in Halfords too. I think we are due some Tesco vouchers. £25 worth will mean a net cost of £59 for a brand new one with full warranty. Up yours ebayers! Just gotta get it past the Mrs. On second thoughts, I'll keep that Blackberry option alive.

And you'll have an even longer wait if you was planning on citing a respectable fantasy cycling palmares

My level of commitment to Fantasy is there for all to see!


I meant to say earlier.
Cracking ride from Visconti today.

I definitely fell into predicable Tour de France trap #4, with him.

And he didn't even have Visconti. I'm stuck for tomorrow...I think it'll have to be the long game, and some guessing!

You've got plenty of time to think about it.

Ahhhh, OK. Good. That'll make all the difference.

I never notice when rest days are coming.

Impossible to have worked Visconti into my team, not that I'd even considered him anyway, but nice to have you guessing for a bit Was a top ride by him today to hold off the GC big boys solo like that.

As for the guessing...they'll be plenty of that for the next two stages. Nothing clear cut about them that's for sure. We've had it easy for picks these past two days, now the hard bit is to come.

I've got 6 transfers for Tuesday.

I'm using the lot.
I'm going to leave Nibs, Pirazzi and odd BMC man (there has to be a reason he got into my team) the rest are out, in favour of decent riders from squads with no GC contention.

All or nothing.

You mention bringing in decent riders like its a change in tactic!?

Oi, mouth almighty.

I outscored you by 30 points yesterday, and judging by your team of sprinters I did the same again the day before.

Congratulations to the NSC Cycling Geeks at the Spring Sportive from Plumpton Races on Saturday.

EPIC Route (75 miles)
@speadbetting seagull - GOLD 04:26:25
Myself - GOLD 04:40:35
@pogue mahone - GOLD 04:39:25 (I've listed him below me as we started together and after doing the whole route Spreadbetting and his mates caught us up about 7 miles from the finish and so we had a lead out train back into Plumpton. Pogue sat at the back pretending to be shot, then with 3/4mile to go, tried a classic attack on the final descent into Plumpton. His delight at the prospect of winning was quickly stifled however when he realised I still had his wheel, and so I definitely crossed the line in front - not that it's a race, it's a sportive....)

STANDARD Route 58miles
@hamilton - GOLD 03:34:45 (on his new carbon no less!)

This was a great Sportive and a brilliant route, lots of fast very smooth country lanes, beautiful morning. We do need to get some NSC Geek caps though I reckon!! Congrats to all, we averaged about 17 mph, with some descents getting up to 39 mph. Great stuff.

Going all out for the breakaway win!!!

I've toyed with my 4 transfers for tomorrow as its tempting to try and pick stage winners but the sensible thing to do is consolidate!

Consolidate conshmolidate.

7 riders nobody else will have in their team, in it to win it, or die trying.
It's what got me through 'Nam.

I like the caps idea.

I appear to have beaten you by over a minute! So your description must be false, and my attack must have been successful. Or something.
