Cycling in a virtual world
Running continuously (even through the summer months), I’m now running a small virtual group ride round the island of Watopia, for myself and several of my cycling buddies in my Meetup cycling group. Eh- What? Seriously…now that the dark hours and crap weather are upon us, we can apply Velominati Rule No. 5 and get out…

More Tour de France fallout….
Two more pro-cyclists have dropped out of the Tour de France today before Stage 17 Saint-Gaudens > Saint-Lary Pla d’Adet (124,5 km) got underway. Can’t say I blame them – whilst this stage is the shortest at 124.5 km, its one of the toughest – with absolutely brutal climbs. 168 men are left in the…

Now it’s Fabian Cancellera out of the Tour de France – what’s going on?
A note from “The Guardian” excellent article on this subject :- “Unlike previous winners Chris Froome, Alberto Contador, Andy Schleck and 25-time stage winner Mark Cavendish – all of whom crashed out – Cancellara chose to abandon the race prior to the Alps and Pyrenees in order to prepare for September’s Road World Championships in Spain.
