    Apologies Nap

    I know its been done before, but never personally had an actual "you know you are a cyclist" moment before. Sat around over lunch having a serious discussion over the impact of Tunisia and I am wondering whether it will delay supplies of the 695 ! (dont even know whether the 695 is made in Tunisia, but its the thought that counts).

    I know my friend is a cyclist because at the back of his garage he has enough old tyres and tubs to make a funeral pyre. :)

    If you want to be a strong rider you have to do strong things.
    However if you train like a cart horse you'll race like one.
