During the TOB I emailed Sky to say my sons were in School working hard and couldn't get to see the TOB.
I asked if it might be possible for them to send a little token to them.
I wanted to keep their interest in cycling right up there.
Didn't hear anything until last week when I got an email from Team Sky, followed shortly after by A bag of goodies a couple of bags, pens, water bottles and a whole stack of team cards. The boys are over the moon.
Thank you Team Sky!!!

    You know that this is categorical proof that they re doping now don't you! ;)

    It was brilliant, my eldest son keeps staring at the pictures of Brad and Cav, he calls Cav the rocket guy, I keep saying Manx Missile, he laughs his head off.
    The cards are now stuck on his wall, and yesterday we had a lengthly conversation regarding Brad's altercation with a car.
    I bought him an Islabike Beinn, couldn't get him on it at first, now can't get him off the thing.
    It's great, but after a bit of a Friday night session, to be woken at 6.30 to "daddy, daddy, can we go for a bike ride"
    can be a tad tiring but it soon blows off the cobwebs. :D:D

    thats nice, reminds me when I was a kid I found a ford employee security pass on the buss floor. I posted it to them with a letter I had found it and asked if they can sent me a brouchure on the new escort cosworth as it was my dream car (as a kid) they got the card rung me up and invited me for a test drive round the test track in it and then gave me a poster that was as big as my room. Happy child. Now I can afford one, I bought a bike instead, Sorry fords.

    It's just ShutUpLegs, he (she?) specializes in the sort of bitter humour that makes other people edge away nervously...

    Bitter, that just about sums it up.
    I get caustic humour; I really do!
    Really though, some people who just can't help themselves, feel the need to be spiteful, perhaps he/she will one day be comfortable in their own skin, maybe as the cortex matures s little.
    Some may find it funny, I find it pathetic and sad that he/she feels the need to be negative. A trait I am sure is reflected in their day to day life, a miserable existence I suspect, filled with an acute lack of self awareness.
    99.9% of those on this forum are fantastic, helpful and informative.

    Hahaha I read your op shortly after you posted and then today saw the 9 comments and thought I bet someone has had a little dig, and low and behold they have!!!!

    Gotta love the bike radar forums, well at least your not getting hassle for having your bike stolen!!!!

    It's a shame, but as I said I think the great majority of people on here are good folks.
    Enough said!
