No, that was years ago, not 'recent', and he was tested after a road race, not a sportive.

Whilst this is true I'd still like to do it once "just because"

We only had time to go to Box Hill on the route & thought it was superb - in Ripley, Nest Cafe (on the left hand side after you go left - but before the righthander), had nice carrot cake - and Wiggo et al had been in there the day before.

Staple Lane & Combe Lane descent were a lot of fun.

I have sent this to her Dad, who I know through business.

I suspect that he will be wearing the "Proudest Dad in the UK" hat, for at least the next week.

yesterday's race had the hallmarks of a true spring classic, far more entertaining and the rain made it gritty.. these girls are shit hard, left it all on the road 'belgian style'.. shame about the high number of punctures 'spose wet conditions were to blame.. we had crews out tape fixing manhole cover edges around putney before the riders headed back

i think i'm in love ffs. girls ftw in cycling and football.
the boy racers can all just >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
