''Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night''

that would be me.. I go after work most nights before heading home.

You've got yourself a stalker. Well done :-)

Very excited. We're doing a Toulouse sausage sizzle in the yard on Saturday to celebrate the start of the tour. Eurosport are showing a 'best of the tour' on at 4pm followed by the Prologue live on the big screen.

That independent article has a link to a great Tour de France video from the 70's. Although their link is not working, here the youtube link:

Check out the plundering of alcohol about 5 mins in.

Will you be showing the last hour each day in the evening like you did for the Giro? What time will it start?

Am going to pop in on my way home. Rumour has it that the dear banned Birthday boy may be lounging around there.

I'll be there from 6, hopefully catch some of you there!

If you see me there, please say hi - black shorts, pale blue tshirt & a marin hastily converted to single speed

That video is incredible! Love it.

The pigeon bus at 1:15 will haunt my dreams though. Frightening stuff.

Part 2 is even better than Part 1

Nice to meet you rhowe

Nice to see everyone.

Also very thoughtful of the birthday boy to buy himself some quite nice, but pricey gifts - that saved us the hassle.

nice to meet you rhowe. see you in there again no doubt

and thanks for the new york tales jacqui and clive
really opened my eyes about provision for cycling in NY (all I knew about new york + cycling was about the hassle at critical mass by the NYPD )

What time does the tour start?!?

4 I think.

Ah, cool. I'm on my way for then...or a bit earlier
With Selim.

Might ride over myself. Hope to see you cats later.

So.. Where is everyone?

[strike]I'll be along after the football.[/strike]

Actually, I might try and catch the end of Cycle Coo, and record the prologue instead.

I might come along. I'm hungry. and need tv...

Was going to have a shower before coming down... Fuck it. See you soon.

a shower takes five minutes, you soapy bugger

Awaiting a man and van and putting things in boxes. Serves me right for doing nothing much about the move for the past month I suppose.
