In England? Did i hear the news correctly?
Has the World gone mad?

Surley it's Tour de L'Angleterre?  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

It's not the first time, it was over here in 2007.

Well it is Leeds that won

Be a great photo opportunity around the dales

Taking photos of blokes in tights on bikes

...

It should have been held in bonny Scotland where some of the riders could develop a severe pain in the Trossachs

Which might explain some funny shaped helmets

I'll get me coat Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

.......Dont slam the door

Was also over here in 94.

word has it Taz is going to cycle over the pennines and have a go at winning himself a yellow jersey, and you could probably win after UK testers look into it properly and disqualify everyone else.

but remember 'To finish first ,first you have to finish'


second thought 'replica shirts are available at online retailers'  At work
At home

some years back the Kellogs Tour of Britain came through Shibden Valley Halifax, I woke up to find a load of PR boys dressed in look a like cycling lycra putting banners along the dry stone wall on the front field. I asked them what they were doing and told them they could not do it, They said they had the landowners permission , I told them to off I was the Land Owner ! any way they refused to move them so i did it for them, they never mentioned payment so to them !

Next the police were telling spectators who were arriving to get into the field, Again I put a stop to that no climbing the wall ! there is a public footpath the copper says, so while i'm arguing the toss with him the bloke from the riding school down the hill arrives at the style, anybody now wanting to enter the field is charged a fiver the TV van comes down our lane and onto the drive he thinks he is going to set up a camera in front of the garage, he has the Land owners permission, again, I tell him £250 or off you go, he couldnt pay cash so off he went !

I hope they come through Shibden Valley  2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned !

2023 Toyota Hilux invincible X 2.8 Auto .

Looking forward to the traffic restrictions. Bad enough when there's a flock of them slowing us down. A whole shoal will be too much to bear. Wonder if I can hire an Apache helicopter for a few days in 2014.
