Sir Brad is 30 secs down on the leaders, but will start the Individual Time Trial at 1:30. Exciting times...

Wish i could see but all feeds for the results lead nowhere for me. Love to see the times for what is a 10 mile TT.

I'm planning to see the race early on Saturday afteroon as they whizz through North West Surrey just a few miles from me. I watched the race yesterday on TV and did wonder how they could see in the rain, can you put Rain-X on bike glasses/lenses and will it just run off like in the car? (where I normally have to be driving close to 30mph with a fresh application for it to just run off)

They are coming through my town tomorrow and passing through a mile or so away from my village around midday.

They are coming within a mile of here on Saturday afternoon.

That will mean gridlock around Farnham, even worse than usual.


16VT and X1/9 1500

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Just leaving now for Stoke-on-Trent. Then heading into deepest darkest Wales to catch them again smile

Weather forecast looks like it'll be drier than yesterday. I got soaked to the skin!

I'm not usually interested in stuff like this, but seeing as it's coming through Wrexham, I thought I'd have a quick look on the tv.

It's not live, although there are highlights of stage 3 from 1pm.

Seems like it was a good day to go and see it yesterday with the Cav win, the breakaway attempt and Sir Brad retaining the yellow jersey.

Top of Caerphilly Mountain in this photo. Looks like quite a big climb.

My bro went to watch it yesterday. Had the choice of that or sitting in my underpants and playing GTA5 for another 10 hours. Chose the latter. I did choose a road bike in the game off the internet and look forward to an online Peleton laugh



Coopless!

Nail biting finish today, and it was good to see no crashes despite the narrow spaces.

Somebody posted this "cycling explained" video.
Handy stuff.
