The centre of Belfast (I work in Chichester St) is really starting to buzz the stage at the City Hall is being set up and loas of people in what appear to be official Giro coats walking about.0 -
I was one of the Bann Wheelers....was a great run to be part of, even though one of our members punctured on the flyover 50yds from the start.PedroJake wrote:141 miles ave 18.4mph. Big thanks to Bann Wheelers and Dromara CC for pulls round the back half of the course. That climb out of ballintoy was a wee bugger!0 -

Guys, got to pick my son up today in Lisburn around 3 o'clock. Any advice for how to get into Belfast at that time, considering roads are closed from 4 would be greatly appreciated??
Thinking to park in Lisburn and get the train in - but would like something easier for getting home again later.0 -
Just bunked out of work for an hour to watch the TTT practice coming past - saw most teams except Sky.
Hard to know about parking & access tonight (and getting away afterwards) - I have to pick my daughter up from Comber & my wife is coming in from Dublin later this evening, I am a bit torn between getting a train in from Hollywood or Bangor or trying to get in to park at work before the roads close at 4. Problem either way is that she won't be happy to walk very far.0 -

Nope, but I wouldn't mind xraying my bikes out of curiosity! Maybe do an annual inspection to see how long a light carbon frame really lasts. I don't know if you'd be able to see tiny stress fractures or not, I guess thaats what I'd like to find out.All the above is just advice .. you can do whatever the f*ck you wana do!

Anyone have any details or know anything about the Gran Fondo just annnounced?0

Money making scheme that has nothing to do the legacy of anything. Much like the 2015 version of the Big Italian Bike Ride, which is neither Italian nor on any of the route taken by the Giro.
They also, as it's not a Cycling Ireland event, plonked their date right on top of one of the biggest sportives of the year (NDCC Coastal Challenge) that actually has charity beneficiaries.
You know what they say about fools and their money
The same companies Euro gran fondos cost 70e + to enter And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made.0 -
Bangor coastal every time. Great event.0

If the Gran Fondo was Closed Road, it'd have a USP. As it stands, it's not really floating my boat. For another thing, it's a bit short.0
