I was there last year just before the race, had the chance to go and have a look inside, Iljo Kleisse was on track, pretty good to see guys like that in training at such a nice venue.

Saturday night smiles: no new posts at all in "Rider Down" for a couple of days. Long may it continue. It's both the most important and the most disheartening area of the forum.

Re-watched first few episodes of Spaced today and Jessica Stevenson's adidas "Le Dauphine Libere" vintage sweatshirt is ticking so many of my nerd boxes it hurts....

Only just seen this. Genuine, spit-out-the-mouthful-of-beer laughter.

Glad you like the book, Matt!

Another great book, that should appeal to the journalist in you, is this:

J. B. Wadley is, in my opinion, one of the greatest cycling journalists of all time.
Some lovely articles in it.
