:pray: It's been a funny old tour to date. The usual suspects on GC, Wiggins failing spectacularly in his bid for a podium place; though historicaly the tour is littered with 'one hit wonders'. Contador IMO, broke the unwritten rule yesterday, attacking the yellow jersey when Schleck had a mechanica...

Le Tour

Anyone interested? As an ex racer meself, I've always been interested, so wondered if there are any other cycling fans out there. The first week has been very good, Cav winning yesterday, and G Thomas second on GC, having the ride of his life. I met Geraint Thomas at the grand depart in London a cou...

Just read The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffenbegger. I've not seen the film tho. Contains some beautiful passages of prose, and is brilliantly observed.
