Cunego has cracked on the climb. Sky chased down a 50 second gap in about 20 seconds.

4:28 for me. Pretty happy given the headwinds.

'As live'. Eurosport had Paris-Nice. T-A was only live elsewhere.

Crawled across the line after 4 hrs 29 mins to scrape a silver, albeit with some help over the last few miles from my mate and BS. Playing 90 mins of football yesterday on a boggy pitch wasn't ideal preparation. I was reasonably pleased with my time until I bumped into a mate at HQ afterwards - he knocked it out in 3 hrs 24 mins!
Met PM and BS at the feed stop (excellent chocolate brownies - sorry SB) and it took us a while to catch up with them. BS would have a gold around his neck if it wasn't for his conker sized bladder
Given the time of year, it was an ideal distance. Nice route, well signposted, friendly volunteers and decent refreshments.

Nice. Looks like the NSC yellow jersey is yours.

I'll wear it with pride. Even though there must have been seconds in it!
I missed out on a silver by a minute in the burgess hill sportive last week, so glad to sneak in this time.
Good event today though.

Oh, ok. I enjoyed thinking I was watching live...such is life. Not as disappointing as being told that Jules Holland's Hootenanny is apparently filmed in November!

One for the Cyclists of NSC
In the process of repairing my old man's bike to do the London to Brighton bike ride. The brakes are made by 'QUAD' and are hydraulic. The front hose is FOOKED and I need a new one. Have had no luck so far and would be quite happy with a universal one if that's possible. Does anyone know where I could get one from?

How fooked?

A 30 sec google search has drawn a blank on QUAD hydraulic cables, but they seem well used.
I suggest you call a supplier and ask what can be used.
These were the first people to come up:-
Find us : Welcome to Hobson Cycles
Jagwire IMHO make some of the bestest cables and if you get the all clear to use them, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this:-

Oh as is customary in such matters, you could just wait for [MENTION=12656]Pantani[/MENTION]

By coincidence, you puncheurs did near enough twice what I did yesterday but did not need twice the time. If you ever came out with me, you'd be 3-4 miles into a second circuit as I happily went to the fridge. Keep it up, it is inspiring.
Can you now help me 'get over' my exertions please. Once they adrenaline has worn off I am funked for the next 24 hours. Before I go, it is a glass of squash, a banana, porridge and 2 black coffees. Out its a full bottle of squash and a Nakd bar at 10 and 20 miles, then a frijj and nutella bagel when I get back. Any ideas?

I think he lent it to someone who twisted the bars 360 degrees and rode it, with the hose being eaten gradually by rubbing on the tyre. Ass! So yeah definitely shagged. I've spoken to a bike shop in Seaford who said they can get me the correct hose but £33. Just for one hose seems a bit steep or do you think that's reasonable? Cheers for your help

strong and stable with me, or...
I play a lot of squash as well and I find the High5 http://highfive.co.uk/product-category/hydrate which is a tablet into your bottle of water really good for rehydration, before, during and after a ride. I actually got through 3litres of fluid for the 65 miles today. I also use their 4:1 protein/carb powder which you add to water, both during and after the ride.
Doesn't sound like you're doing too badly though, but I do eat during ride, especially anything over 90mins or so.
What sort of funk, just tired or stiff, achy, disorientated?
There's not a great deal wrong with what you're doing.
I'd try and keep moving as a 'warm down'. The obvious temptation after a strenuous ride is to hit the sofa, which will seize you up.
Up your fluid intake post recovery, plenty of water, you do sweat out a lot.
If you're really struggling Holland and Barrett et al will have recovery stuff, Amino acid tablets (I think that's what you'd need)
A Jagwire wire kit will do both for that money, although I don't think they are compatible.I think he lent it to someone who twisted the bars 360 degrees and rode it, with the hose being eaten gradually by rubbing on the tyre.
