    If you've been away for a week then you have some catching up to do. If it is not a rude question, where have you been?

    Don't apologise Mr Lemoncurd. Just remember where we are. This is cake stop. The place where virtual stops are made and virtual cake consumed by the lorry load

    What's happening It has gone very quiet (actually I am quite deaf so it's always like that for me). Has everyone gone to the pub or a bike fettling course or something? Is today a bank holiday that no one told me about?

    Someone say something - even if it is just to say they would like to go on a round the world bike ride with Jula Roberts.....

    With that thought I think I had better have a little lie down :oops:

    Ha! indeed! If you don't have kids then you can go to the seaside any time you want for as long as you want (except when the kids are there). Tea drinking is OK but does not compare with the Napa Valley Zinfandel SWMBO & I have just quaffed.

    The Dumbledeee & shortbread, however, are sparking envious emotions bordering on outright jealousy... Do you have any to spare? :wink:

    On page 45 we're going to climb Sarah Millican, then attempt the west side of James Corden so watch out for the slippy descents and the first one to mount Sarah Millican gets 10 extra points and a medal and a commemorative eccles cake.

    This is turning into a really tough event requiring Herculean stamina plus the strength of character not seen since naked 'Tommy' cyclists were wasted in a pointless attack on Bosch pointy helmets during the dark days of WWI. If the pelaton really must mount Sarah Millican can we at least ask the UCI organisers to use a discarded yellow jersey to cover her up first? If that is not possible then we will all end up taking banned substances in order to endure the pain.

    Yes it all suddenly seems very challenging and many of us have not worked out a strategy.

    For example:

    .

    Redhog14 has voiced his concerns about the descent but has he considered how he will mount "La Grande Femme"?

    It reminds me of when I was a nipper and finally saved up enough pocket money to have a Sturmey Archer three speed wheel put on my first (single speed) bike. Suddenly I was able to ride over anything. Huge hills that had previously involved my push bike being, well, pushed were suddenly easy conquests. Over the decades I have always found there is a gear which will get me over any hillock - no matter how huge. But Vanessa Feltz.... This may be a challenge too far.

    If I could ascend "La Grande Femme"? I am sure that, unlike Redhog, I would welcome the exhilarating relief a super fast descent would offer.

    On a highly technical note, do we know if these climbs will be made while the challenges are upright or recumbent? - and in the case of LGF how would we know the difference? On a purely financial point I have to question whether the motivation provided by a medal and an eccles cake is enough for teams, sponsors and riders to rise to challenges of this magnitude.
