It contributed to my 9 hour return journey that did. Didn't know about the road closures til the last minute.

An interesting few minutes reading and viewing at http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20140821 ... l-bicycles" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Warning! Don't look at the prices.

[boltonboris]

don't have to.. Can't be accessed in the UK

[Dujon]

That's odd, boris. It is the BBC site. Ah, well, sorry.

[KeyserSoze]

It's the BBC's international site, dujon, not for use in the UK.

Anyway, off for a jaunt on Saturday. First stage of le tour. 202km long. Woof

Don't forget to Savlon your undercarriage.

[KeyserSoze]

Top of the list, good sir.

Got a look at what's in store for GtE this afternoon by going over Sheephouse. I was on a hybrid, Mrs G on a mountain bike. Tough going but well rewarding with the descent into Belmont particularly exhilarating.

On the subject of easing chafing on the old under carriage. What have folk found works best?

Savlon or Sudocrem. Liberally applied.

A decent saddle to prevent cutting off circulation to the genitalia and thus avoiding 'numb knob'

And then it's just a question of manning up and taking a perineal beating.

Chamois Chamois Chamois!
Had to abandon my ride yesterday which was gutting. Still, managed 50 miles plus another 15miles back to the station ( via grassington and skipton, two wonderful places) so at least I did half of what's planned plus saw some beautiful sights. Yorkshire is beautiful.

In awe of the lads that finished, at around 20.45... We had set off at 08:00

[Always hopeful]

Went to watch Stage 1 of the Tour of Britain today. Great day out. Took loads of photos'. This is my favourite.

Just back from our cycling holiday in Vietnam. Would highly recommend it. You go at your own pace and in our group of 8, Mrs G & I were the most inexperienced but pleased to say with the exception of a couple of racers, we held our own. Over 300 miles over 8 days in 95+ degrees but utterly fecked now. Could do with a holiday!
