"Anyone going,some great racing,and tv coverage,ahead,be good finish stage6!"
Watched some cycle races as they have passed by my way. Half an hour of waiting, 19 seconds of watching. Bit of an anti-climax really. |

"Going through my town today.
The amount of absolute fucking idiots on bicycles absolutely determined to kill themselves on the roads today is insane
Oh do go away."
As opposed to motorcyclists trying to kill themselves and motorists trying kill everybody else which is pretty much the norm on the roads |

I'm annoyed that I don't think I can get to see the London stage next week as I'm running a marathon and even if i am back in time I'm likely to be fucked. I'm off work Friday and that looks likely to be the best stage
I've loved watching the ToB grow to the race it is today, as Cav said many rides choose it other the Vuelta. It always produces some quality racing |

No lights no high via no helmets unlit national speed limit roads when it's dark.
And the whole family out on them two kids out front weaving randomly about the road from gutter to the far side of the white lines
Regular cyclists are slow but normally not completely obvious the "oh this reminds me we've got those bikes we've not used in about 5 years in the garage let's get out on them today in the spirit" types are fucking loons |

You do know that lights, high viz and helmets aren;t legal requirements?
And maybe today is the day they felt that the volume of cyclists made it safe enough to be on the roads as motorists would be more aware?
Ity;s okay though, there's another 364 days when they won't be there  |

I know they're not legal requirements just like leather and kevlar on a motorbike aren't but they're sensible ones.

"Sadly won't be seeing this year, is it me or is it just a series of one day stages."
