Fortunately not. I had a sore throat interfere with sleep last night and it ain't much better yet. Red wine, cider and lager should help with sleep tonight before the final training session tomorrow.
We are now looking likely to return to SW France next summmer. When are you out there and are there any 58s to be hired? I would fukken love a guided tour of your french manor.

My latest cycling injury. I was chasing a transit down a little hill when something hit me in the mouth and in the nanosecond before spitting it out, it (bee or wasp) managed to sting me behind the lip. Sir Julian removed the little Eiffel Tower thing left behind. The stripey swine.

Hi mate. We are there for lots of July and September and all of August - but let me know when you want to go! Yes, a mate rents out high quality bikes (a friend of mine rented a Pinarello 58) for only about 22 euros per day.
Let me know when you know what you'd like to do!

If any if them took the time to fit a bell on their bikes, they would be all over the front pages.

strong and stable with me, or...
The problem with that is I am colour blind, so have bike stuff acquisition syndrome AND progeria, whatever that is!

After a terrible start in the sadle I grew into cycling and completed my 46 mile charity bike ride last Sunday, raised somwhere near £2,000 for the childrens trust.
I cant pretend I enjoyed it, but I am considering the London to Brighton, Would this be worth my time as I heard mixed things?
For those interested I did the 46 miles in 3 hours 21, I was fairly happy considering I only started cycling in July and Had three practice cycles no longer than 20 miles previously.

I’ve never done The London to Brighton ride do can’t really comment, but having a challenge to go for will motivate you to ride more which is not a bad thing. Well done on the ride Sunday, and a great amount of money raised too.
Chapeau (well done)
.London to Brighton is ok but seriously hectic, at least until the M25, after which it's downhill all the way!
It's a very good starting point as after the mad scramble it should be a lovely safe ride on closed roads.
You'll also get plenty off ohh's & ahh's if you manage Ditchling Beacon, although again if you're not there early enough I believe that's also impossible to ride.
[MENTION=22214]banjo[/MENTION] is right though, having a target is a great motivational tool, as you've clearly found out.
What didn't you enjoy about Sunday's ride?
