    I've tried using the feature to get a refund from a Private coach operator who claimed their coach was there and left on time. I could show them within a couple of metres where I was standing for half an hour while my phone was on, and their big green unmissable bus never showed up.

    The company are a complete shower however, and still wouldn't refund.

    I met someone who seems close to the team. That bike will not be used in races. Its a marketing promotion.
    The bike used by all accounts will have a standard groupset and brakes.

    You can have an affair, just have to accept that it will lead to near immediate castration on returning home....

    As long as your trysts took place entirely at/above coffee stops and lasted no more than 20 minutes, I think it's do-able. :pac:

    Is it just me or was the driving particularly dangerous today?

    Lot of speeding down the middle of winding roads going on...

    Track World Cup, Poland this weekend. Didn't get chance to see any of it (not sure if Eurosport were doing live coverage, but they certainly have some highlights tomorrow. Anyway some spoiler info, firstly the Women:
    Lydia Gurley has made a rapid recovery after her accident in the London 6 day, and had respectable results in the Points and Scratch Races. Lydia Boylan did OK in the Omnium (15th) and they teamed up again in the Madison to pick up 10th
    Now the Men
    Marc Downey picked up some very decent results in the Scratch (5th) and Points races (8th). Felix English was 8th in the Omnium and the 2 of them teamed up to take 5th in the Madison

    Next weekend it moves on to Manchester. Hopefully I'll have better broadband then than I have now (Storm Ophelia took the line down and it's still not up again!!), and I'll try and remember to start a thread, probably on the ferry over

    Mine was 'Only our rivers run free' and I can't abide Christy Moore!

    Why are earworms nearly always songs we don't particularly like?

    ES are showing it. The mens ominium was a good spectacle. Especially with the Pole getting silver.

    The podiums they have are cool - inverted cassettes in gold, silver and bronze.

    I only learned yesterday that this place is only a few k from where the sister in-law lives. Plans are afoot for a visit there next year for some riding!

    Isn't it just a tiny bit ironic to have cassette podiums at track championships? :P

    To me, not being able to wholly understand fixed gear racing, still yes :P

    Definitely was in the 90'. Not so much these days I think....

    It's not the most glamorous bit of Warsaw but I didn't think it was dodgy when I was over there.

    Some nice bakeries there.

    If you do get up on it mind the ads. Slippy. My memory was they let any gob****e up on it so some interesting and stupid crashes followed.

    Ah, it's not even Warsaw. You only thought that cos you didn't understand them! The greatest trick Kevin Spacey ever played was convincing people that he had a limp. No wait, that's not it. You get the idea!

    Flipping hell this jiu jitsu lark is some craic. I reckon I'd feel as wrecked if I cycled over the gap in the nip in zero degrees. Worth it though, even though I've been off the bike a while I did 30kms on Saturday and still set a few prs on a regular route.
