I'm assuming it's related to the Astana Cycling team.

I misread this comment 'exclusive on the biggest drugs scandal since LA', and though you had said 'bigger than LA'. I couldn't think how there would be a bigger scandal in cycling hence my question. Thanks for answering.

Another class deal, i was looking at that frame too, was gonna move the Ultegra over from the pro-carbon. If i wasn't tied until the summer with C2W i'd be all over that.

Planet X have had some mental deals lately. They'd a full Carbon Time Trial bike with full Dura Ace for £999.

They are ditching Shimano, Campag & Sram only in new year, they'll prob do a good Campag offer to kick it of.

Was looking at some of their deals after they were put up earlier but I didn't fancy changing to Shimano. Nothing against them but only used to Campagnolo, is it easy to get used to the feel of a differnt shifting system?

[bennydorano]

No idea, only ever used Shimano!

Sunday Times oversold their scoop. Drugs in Russian Athletics & IAAF implications.

Pissed off looking at the turbo lately.

Done twenty mile on the bike last week first time back on the bike since October.  Thought I take a while off to recharge the batteries while doing a bit of running to keep activity.  Not long until the reliability events and the club racers start again.

Have done a few days in a row at that fasted state turboing, can't really judge it as a weight loss tool as I'm eating like a Lord but it does energize you for the day, although I am feeling a bit fucked this evening. Going to try & do it twice a week with a proper eating regime for a month or so when I go back to work next week & judge it then. Hopefully get a proper spin tomorrow.

Signed up for Wicklow & the Big Italian Bike Ride. Will probably do the big Gran Fondo one as well.

I've signed up for those as well, look like they're tough enough. Wicklow looks like a right bollix!
Any talk of where the grand fondo will be going and how far?

[bennydorano]

Haven't heard. Think that they rushed that out after the Big Italian Bike Ride published their details

[gerry]

A few of us had planned to do a long cycle on the longest day and now they want to do this cycle.

[JimStynes]

I think it's on around the 21st of June and I have La Marmotte on the 4th or 5th of July. Not sure if that would be too close to each other or not.

[gerry]

Fair play to you jim. I done those climbs two years ago and hope to do them again this July during the tour.  Cant say I could do them all in a day. Cheapeau.

Sure the dancing would have kept you ticking over rightly twinkle toes.
