Jake who @fly mentions above did the Ride 100 on his signature bike. Dope to watch the wheelies on the descents and was raising money and awareness for a good cause. Was able to catch him pull up on the final straight so excuse my fanboy shout as he passes https://youtu.be/PMbwZBqk9mo

Luckily nobody external from the vehicle hurt in this one. Could have been drastic looking at the damage that was caused

The toilet flush mentioned above now has tape over it and may be in the process of being fixed, therefore if the fixer from my office happens to see this and is on here, I also hate that I don't have a beer right now

People up for tomorrow then?

Toilets with sensor flushes, specifically the toilet with a sensor flush in my office that goes off as soon as I walk into the room. Meaning I then have to wait around after my piss to wait for the water to refill, or wash my hands before flushing and run the risk that my colleagues think I'm an animal who hasn't washed their hands as the flush has gone off and I've immediately walked out again.

Time to get your entries in for next year

Also away this week unfortunately. Wednesdays have been quite booked up for me the last few weeks but should hopefully be available next week if anyone is around

I've been looking forward to this stage since I was in Val D and Tignes in January snowboarding and saw the stage was heading through. Got a few mates who couldn't care about cycling excited for it too so we could do spotting of lifts and runs and stuff, made reference maps for them with the race route and the Piste Maps to show what was where. Did get to see the Glacier lifts at the top of the Iseran and the Fornet but that was all. Didn't even get to see the roof of the Petit Danois, gutting.

edit: have just been emailed to say we're finishing early in the office today though so I can go back and cry about my insignificant problem a little earlier which is nice

Christ. I understand how people feel when they watch Titanic now

I think people would say there are officially 7

I hope Bardet can pull this one out so SL2 can get their yearly royalty payment from ITV

Report regarding one of the missing people. Horrible news.

You'll have to buy it to get a good proper look then

Don't think this has been shared in this thread. A brief yet interesting article about the helicopter crews with some great pictures of helicopters backdropped by the peloton/mountains

I'm booked in for a visit to the showroom tonight

I don't understand the Toyota Aygo advert with the bloke getting a text from his football mate and his partner who's cooked a meal. Are they in a group chat in which his partner and his best mate just crack on with each other and compete for time with the buff aygo driver? Or do they always just send message after message incessantly to mr aygo in their individual message chains with shorter and shorter content until he pulls over his car and replies to them?

I saw the blue lights and just thought they'd have been a warning to alert people to not go down the track towards the fire

I'll take the shimano ones if they're still around

edit: to slow on the tpying

That boat bit at the 4:49 bit you recommended really got to me. 'No brakes on a boat' is one of those sayings that I'm sure I'll remember at my desk at work and just start laughing.

This was something that I did note, the noise of some of the bikes definitely made me think that a car was about to smack me with their wingmirror but it was just a club train buzzing past me rather close instead.
An extra takeaway, given I've only ever really done long solo rides, a 100km 'audax', and inner city things like cobblemonster and Fixed Beers rides, the Dynamo has definitely confirmed my decision to not want to join a traditional cycling club.

I DAS'd someone on the way in to the beach car park as I walked to the pub after leaving my bike at the lorry and was told to Fuck Off so I apologise to her for that

Ah I see. Yeah the short section of Chancery Lane I use was also a nightmare, more so than usual. But it's to be expected when people park several lorries and vans up it for deliveries and then try to squeeze more vehicles along at rush hour

Must be a big case on at the Royal Courts Of Justice today? Big police presence of about 10 vans parked up out the back on Carey street making it an absolute nightmare to travel through with the construction vehicles that are going around there at the moment for the numerous building projects on Carey Street, Portugal Street and Lincoln's Inn Fields blocking things up completely
