Started watching the Channel 4 stuff in '87 and got my first bike in 1990
I joined a local club - Brighton Excelsior - but was crap although I 'won' a couple of club events.
I did a cartoon for ProCycling Magazine for 10 years and also for for Bike Radar for a bit. I ran out of time to carry...
I saw this.
Now, I know that sorting this must be very difficult but one lane for cars heading north past Sainsburys? Already cars back-up out of the BP but with 2 lanes available, this is just about passable but with only one, that particular sitaution will get a lot worse

Crikey - how could I forget. Barry Davies used to go on and on and on and on and on about that. I bet those two got on like a house on fire

Its just occured to me, my above post was about 24hrs too late. I'm blaming the B/H weekend - I struggle to remember what day it is.
Today though its Sunday i.e Paris - Roubaix!
Horton gives plenty of good advice there
The route details are here: Paris-Roubaix 2012 - The route 2012
I normally go straight down the A26 to Cambrai and then watch one (or more if i'm feeling lucky!) of the cobbled sections (between 27 & 24) before A2 / A21 towards lille and watching...
I ran today in the end but couldn't face the monotony of the seafront so I did a hilly 1/2 marathon loop around 13 flights of steps across Brighton & Hove then tagged on an extra 40mins on the seafront so just under 3hrs and 17ish miles.
I felt really good which puts me in conundrum as i'd all...
I much prefer Paris-Roubaix to the Tour of Flanders - it seems a much harder, bleaker race and I love the fact that fater all those cobbles, it end on the smooth Roubaix velodrome
The best race on the calendar!
chimneys is right - 15 today and 20 on Friday is much too much. You won't be any better on Friday than you were today. And, again, like Chimneys says - throw in a few shorter, quicker runs and concentrate on eating & sleeping well before next weekend
That said, i'm going to try to sneak in 20...
I reckon I'm out this year
I've struggled with all my long runs and have only completed about 3 20 mile ones but felt more tired than usual with them all.
Then, on Monday, I went for a bit of a 10k blast and my heart rate was running at about 210-215bpm! I usually run a 10k pace at about...
For the first few games of the season the WSU concourse was like Club Tropicana. If the club had replaced the Harveys with cocktails, they'd have trousered a tidy sum.
