Thread planning

[EllaChimp]

But don't we have one for cycling pictures in general? Not necessarily ones we made ourselves? I would just put them in that thread instead of creating another one

No there isn't one for cycling photos. One thread for is for general photography, no cycling pics in it. Another thread hasn't been posted in for a decade and no pics in it are there anymore, it's just all red X's, so I've no idea what it used to be and another thread is for "great" professional photographs which is not what my photos are. I'm no photographer and my pics aren't "great". They're just pics taken with a cheap old camera of various cyclists I've met or seen at various races/events. So I've still no idea where to post them.

If you post your pics in respective riders thread, they will be lost as time goes by.

I suggest, create a new thread and posts them there.

Yes, that's what I thought. Ok, I'll create one, thanks.

 

[RedheadDane]

And Longo Borghini should obviously have a thread.

I think Samu just volunteered.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I think Samu just volunteered.

I have just started to work on a Vuelta Femenina thread, so I think other threads will have to wait.

 

[awavey]

Do people want a Tour of Britain women thread ? (Yes i guess im volunteering to create it) Or shall we cover it under the womens lesser races ?

You should absolutely create one it if you feel like it, but I have to admit it's probably the race I'm least excited about this year.

Well have to admit pretty unexcited for the whole thing myself, was just gauging if there was any interest

and I suspect it will just end up as a thread with stage maps and then stage results, and we can probably cover it as its only 4 stages in the current lesser races as it's not even going to be important enough to be sticky

I don't suppose @Devil's Elbow can peak twice a year and will be doing the herculean effort that is the stage-by-stage analysis for the Tour as well?

I'm asking because otherwise I might start a (probably very basic) Stage 1 thread to start talking about the race.

Working on it, but behind schedule because real life got in the way. Will put up a stage 1 thread tonight.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

I could create a separate thread with a poll and discussion regarding the Tour winner (unless the poll is planned in stage1 thread).

 

[RedheadDane]

So, errr... since we've had some controversial polls...

@Armchair Cyclist and @Cookster15, would a poll about whacky spectator behaviour be okay?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

As I said, although I don't doubt goodwill on the part of the creator of each of those, they were just too much of a magnet for trolling comments.

I doubt there would be such an issue with @RedheadDane 's proposal

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Update: two stages left to write about. I will upload it tomorrow no matter what, but I might have to skip the history of Paris to pull that off.

 

[RedheadDane]

So, errr... does anyone have a Giro Women thread in their left back pocket?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I am working on, erh, something.

Does it involve a poll?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Not at this stage.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I don't know which Stage 14 thread got started first: apologies to @Tricycle Rider if hers was first, but I couldn't see it if it was. Really don't know what time I copied DE's post.

Anyway, threads merged, posts about duplication removed, no harm done.

 

[awavey]

TdFF ?

 

[RedheadDane]

TdFF ?

Yes, please.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I am currently working on threads for the next Greg LeMond, better known as Paul Seixas, and the next Benjamín Prades, aka Florian Lipowitz, but perhaps I will also have time to throw together a third one.
I won't promise anything though.

awavey clearly volunteered!

I'll see what I can do

 

[RedheadDane]

Too premature for a Maeva Squiban thread?
