Especially for you 1066:-

Have the NSC'ers gone for a big 4 and nobody, or a big 3 and some others in tomorrows ITT.

Thanks SB. I was just about to give everyone the heads up for tomorrow too.

Cards on the table:

I've gone big 4, 2 fairly big, and 3 hidden gems from the 3 credit riders.

Big 3 and some others.

Well, maybe big 4 - depending on who you have in it!

Finally got our pics from Sunday uploaded. I'll try to be brief.

Little bit of bike porn with a bling back drop. Note the speedplay pedals on this partciular set. They seemed to be quite a popular choice all round.



Did this little gear problem set the tone for Ciolek's day I wonder.



Kristian House - an absolute gent throughout.



Mad Madrazo having the time of his life and answering fans' request by calling Quintana out of the bus to join in the fun.



Best shot of the day, but taken by 1066 mini(f). She always gets the best shots. That poker face never seems to change. Like the Sojasun rider looking over like he's a star struck fan too

Got mudguards today. Forecast is not great. Rude not to?

My team is Phinney, SBR, T Martin, Cancerella, Malori and 4 from the bottom.

And finally......a tale of two teams....

Dan Martin arrives in style (trainers to the left as we look at the pic)

Yeah, I'm on there. Will break the £0 after the event I'm sure.

Done.
A flood-lit track would be amazing. Can't see it happening but at least I've put my thoughts to the council...

Anyone have a brompton? Thoughts?
