I reckon his name is Andrew...?

Not that anyone was likely to pick him anyway - but our man Tommy V is out with a broken collarbone, having crashed in training today

Disappointed to see SB giving up before the season has even started, but hey ho.

Cycling and the city - Radio 4.

Just starting now http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_four

Will be on iplayer for a while no doubt.

So, they are both set up.

Use this link to go to the Leagues page.

Regular League ID is 77324
Purist League ID is 77325

If you want to run a team in both leagues you will need to use two different log ins, as us non premium paupers are only allowed one team each. I will certainly be running a team in each to help make up the numbers.

Can we reply to this post to keep it moving through the thread for the next few weeks, please. That way it will make sure everyone sees it who is likely to join.

New page.

Why not?

Anyway, you going purist, normal game, or both?


Btw, just listened to that radio 4 programme I linked earlier. Nothing much new to add that hasn't been covered a thousand times over already.

I think the BBC should save on tired journalists costs and commission a cycling safety video made by actual cyclists who know what they're talking about on the nuts and bolts of staying safe on the road and leave it up on iplayer forever. Then broadcast links to it on their countless radio & tv trailers along with a P.O. Box address to send an S.A.E to for a free copy on dvd. That'll cover it.

I'm halfway through the - Merckx: Half man, Half bike - book. It appears it ain't that simple.

Either way he has no place t'other side of the planet in 40 degree heat.

Why not?

Purist, normal, intertoto, it doesn't matter cos do you know what time it will be...


it'll be whooping time.

Nah they need the sensational lunatic with a camera strapped on his head screaming at people, or else it's not worth doing.

Woe there Hamilton! You cannot just put the names of your riders in to the thread. It must be done in the now traditional format as used by SB yesterday

So your team should read:

4 kangaroo chasers
2 sauerkraut eaters
1 straw donkey seller
1 pizza maker
and 1 sheep fancier

Or something like that

 

[Hamilton]

Apologies.

4 waltzing Matildas
A couple of lederhosen thigh slaps
A flamenco stamp
The commedia dell'arte
And a Nantgarw jig

I'm setting up a team - why not.

Just one question (sorry to ask basic stuff), what is the diffirence between 'purist' and 'regular'?

You can change a regular team with 2 substitutions per day.
For purist the team you start with is the one you finish with.
