    Just back from Skipton, huuuuge crowds but traffic fine.

    Good bit of Black Sheep chat from Phil & Paul.

    Yep. We discussed it about 10 pages back. Apparently it was Rob Hayles' idea according to Daniel Lloyd.

    Seems so simple and obvious now that someone else has thought of it :D

    Woeful bit of explaining Yorkshire's brewing heritage. Not wholly inaccurate though.

    The pace looks very slow at the moment. It's as though they're all waiting for each other to pick it up.

    Liggett has twice said something along the lines of what a great shame it is that Millar isnt racing his last Tour.
