craig1985 said:Feel sorry for you bro, I really do. What type of bike was it?
There has been a lot of rumours about the Gavia
there has been two landslides on the Forcola
Still not no forgiveness for Basso
Simoni is known for his pride. Four years ago he fell out with Ivan Basso after he allegedly first offered Simoni the stage victory in exchange for his help and then surged clear to win in Aprica and dedicate the stage to his newly born son.

There has been ... rumours.
has been ... landslides.
Is grammar really that difficult?
That is all.

My brother lives in the Washington DC area and says they are alternating between July weather and October weather.
Ugh.

craig1985 said:I was out with the group doing a long ride today, we were going at quite solid pace (25-30km/h) up a hill (3-4% at the most, it's quite easy actually), and one guy in our group was passing me to go up to the front and accidentally bumped me or his handle bars touched mine (I was climbing out of the saddle) and next thing I knew I was on the ground with a lot of blood coming from above my right eye. So now I'm sitting here with two stitches above my right eye and one just under the same eye. And throw in some lovely headaches and barely able to remember much. Every **** on Tuesday will think I got into a fight at the pub (for those playing at home Monday is a bank holiday where I live and therefore a day off) on the weekend.
My helmet is cracked and my front wheel is ****ed, and I need new gear shifters as a result. The worst thing is that I had 108km in my legs at that point (with at least another 25 to go).
The crazy thing is that I can go downhill like a nutcase and take corners (and often blind corners as well) at more then 50km/h without breaking and I crash whilst going uphill.
