Can't mention that win without a nod to Renshaw, he won it for Cav.
If I remember rightly Renshaw took that last turn 5kmph faster than anyone else, millimetres from the fence.

Anyone else having issues with Bike Radar's Classified section? I'm getting no posts showing in all of the sub forums. Been like that for a few days now. Very odd 
The Pro Race forum is working fine.
Edit: All working fine now. Seems you have to be logged in to view the Classifieds now.

And was celebrating before Cav crossed the line before rolling in 2nd arms aloft. Beautiful! 2009, I believe?

I'm probably thinking of the year after when he shot past everyone.
There both here along with Renshaw's third and the best headbutt.
Pretty much all you want from a video:-

Nice one Jay, what colour was it before?
IT's pi$$ing too, all your Christmas' have come at once.
(pound to a penny that bike won't be getting wet and filthy anytime soon!!)
Ok Geeks, here's my problem.
As part of my ongoing search for a 10/15 mile 'family fun' sportive, I can do with jnr, I took the initiative.
Back in the day I did a fair few SRS events rides out of Burgess Hill, still on the email data base etc.
With The Etape du Sussex coming up next month, I noticed if we rode out the first few miles, we could cut back through Wivlesfield, making for a shorter but no less enjoyable ride.
This time last week I sent a very courteous and respectful email to Rupert explaining the situation, inc referencing Jnr spindly legs!.
Asking if he didn't mind me shortening his route to accommodate us, as being part of the event was equally as important as actually riding it.
I've had no reply, so what next?
In hindsight although I said I naturally undertook full responsibility for jnr, I didn't mention anything about the financial side.
I don't know if that might be a sticking point, I assumed I obviously wasn't asking for a discount or even a free ride at a paying event.

Red, White and Silver. Although I ordered the Black/Silver, They apologised and I received a £20 voucher.
I was thinking of doing the Burgess Hill bike ride this Sunday, having second thoughts now.
Lumigrids is an LED projector for bicycles, which aims to improve safety during night riding. It projects square grids onto the ground. By observing changes in the grids, the rider can easily comprehend the landforms ahead.

Hopefully I'll have a few people to drag me along then if it's a sell out.
The Long One looks interesting. I'm currently deciding whether to enter anymore sportives before I head off to the Alps, or just tailor my own routes. Will take a closer look at it...

The day the Le Tour starts?!
Count me out.
Yes, that day. And it's about the same distance as the first stage, too.
I'll be back for the highlights - it'll all be about the last 20k and a Cav win anyway.

I did it last year - loved it. Less brutal than King of the Downs, but still a long day in the saddle.
