Normally I just kiss my teeth and ignore telly competitions but I'd love to own that Boardman (or a Cervelo) so I've found myself entering into the ITV Tour de France competition.
I admit that when I first saw the Carrera competition I thought to myself that ITV must be feeling the recession or something.... glad they are now offering a Boardman!

A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

Be a good stablemate for my boardman road team...Condor World Series 2012

I did, but for last week's competition. With the resoundingly shite weather we've been having, my mind has turned to that most appalling of all man made contrivances: the indoor trainer. I thought something that tilted up and down my stave off the boredom for, oh, well at least an additional ten minutes.
Plus that thing was worth £1500. That's £900 on ebay, easy.
Never did find out whether it folds away for easy storage though. I mean, that's essential. Any old junk allows you to work out in the privacy and comfort of your own home. Folding is where it's at, man.0 -
For just £2 plus your normal network rate you could have almost no chance of winning a bicycle shaped object from Halfords.
One in ten trillion entrants will win a Boardman will jolly nice wheels which you can put on your own bike.
Got some space in the shed? You too could win an indoor trainer which is worth almost as much as the reasonably nice bike you would be far better riding. Its got yellow bits on it which add £500 to its rrp.
You thought there was 10 minutes left of the highlights show didn't you? Actually it was 30 seconds of Chris B saying "Its going to be an interesting day tomorrow" in a disinterested way. Fooled you. Queue road to nowhere gone wrong music.0 -

That's what I did. I don't normally enter things like that but we've got a new member of staff who was a director of a marketing firm and said that hardly anyone enters those kinds of things. So I had a crack at it.
Reminded me of a cousin who was a lot younger than me who badgered his dad for a stamp to enter a competition to win a MCFC goalies kit. My uncle gave in and gave him the stamp. Three weeks later, Eike Immel's (I know) muddy goalie kit arrived at the door with a postman. So, you've got to be in it to win it!Commute: Chadderton - Sportcity0 -

What era was this and did the offside rule even exist then?
In fact what is the offside rule?Food Chain number = 4

Don't get in front of the last defender when receiving the ball, otherwise you're offside.
And Eike Immel was in goal for City between 1995-97!

I won a mug from ITN in the early days of DAB radio when the scrolling text invited listeners to enter by email to win a big prize. Reckon they must have given three away in total. Also won a handful of CDs & stuff from Ministry Of Sound Radio on DAB - it was supposed to be London only at the time and here I was up in Sticksville bopping about to it so I won by being the furthest flung listener (out of a dozen or so no doubt). Would have been late 2000 I expect.
TdF needs more action - 1 hour involves 7 minutes of telling us about it, 5 mins of ads , 7 mins action, 5 mins ads, 7 action then more ads, Bored-man (like him actually) and the competition.0 -
Entered it! On web, natch. No way I'm paying for that.
Only thing I've ever won is the booby prize in a raffle 20 years ado - a sack full of loo roll.
Must be due a bit of luck.Ecrasez l’infame0 -
I entered, fresh from my success in the Cycle Sport Gino Bartali: Road to Valour Twitter competition. I'm looking good for a win, I reckon.0

As above, you've got to be in it to win it. In the last few years I won a Garmin and £250 worth of outdoor clothing on this kind of thing*, so always worth a go, especially if it costs nothing.
*Likely with much smaller numbers of people entering than for the ITV Tour ones I should think, but still.0 -
Entered the current compo for the bike via interweb, going to go again with my Dad's address and different email addy
I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0 -

No. It's on the lower right hand side of the main ITV TDF page - I thought it was comparitively easy to find.
The rest of their website though - eugh. Goes for all the TV channels.What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?0 -
It's not on the page I'm looking at, is there another?0
