    The "Where did you ride your bike today?" Thread...

    Down from Strathearn, Scotland and a loop of the Forth, back via the Fife hills and Glendevon, 130km, best day weather wise we have had this year, sunny, 14C, light winds.

    Brits don't dope?

    I think it is 'Englishness' and not British-ness, the Anglos really do take themselves too seriously, especially fuelled by the Anglo-centric media in the UK. Generally speaking, Scots, Welsh etc will be largely ignored until they do well, then they are British, e.g. Andy Murray. The whole...

    2012 Tour of Utah, Stage 5, Park Center to Snowbird, 162.8 Km

    Well I watched the race off and on via the Tracker site, and quite enjoyed that, despite the commentary, which suffers mainly from a lack of up to date race info I guess, it sure was better than SFA. I was impressed with SpiderTechs Caleb Fairly, came off good and proper but got back up and...
