They'll be photographing London soon as well, so don't do anything in public that you don't want saved for posterity on Google Maps...

I'm suffering from poor timing and am going to miss the first two stages on account of being out on a 400k tomorrow and Sunday. Should get a punt on Cav winning the first and and Thomas on the second just for that.

As an aside, should get quite interesting when the Olympic thinning kicks in.

Cavendish won't win tomorrow as the finish is up a 2k climb. He'll have more of a chance on Sunday.

Like hell. I only put my first fixed together last week and have so far spent a grand total of an hour and twenty minutes careening around Tesco's carpark like and idiot. I'll be hitting the gears all the way and oh yes, there will be chevrons.

I've always preferred black stuff coz it hides grime and goes with anything but I'm moving towards the light..

Probably stick with black or at a push silver/grey

what, Saint-Brieuc ?

know it quite well. my mum lived in brittany for a few years, Saint-Cast.

nice in summer, if you like parisian tourists, miserable in winter.

I wish they'd stayed out there for a few more years, I'd have loved to be there this weekend!

return it with the same care that a dedicated angler returns a specimen carp to the lake, support and caress it until it pulls away strongly of it's own accord.

Carp? You mean stick a knife through its gills and throw it up the bank for the dogs to play with?

yes Saint-Brieuc is my hometown, lived there for 22 years.

Saint-Cast is very pretty if I remember well. Parisian invaders, pffff.

I miss Brittany so much in the summer, we're going there at the end of August I think, looking at staying by the sea somewhere on the north coast to eat lots of galettes and crepes and drink lots of cider.
