I keep hearing the ITV4 commentator and mistaking him for Frankie Boyle. I think Frankies witticisms are what this Vuelta is missing sadly. "Val-Verde? Val-fucking-fanny more like"

Lovely thread and I'll add

Ally Capellino are launching their new range of bags for biking on Thursday night outside their HQ on Calvert Avenue. Bit of free booze from London Fields and (insert blatant plug) outstanding buttermilk fried chicken and fine meats from the spits to purchase from my food truck, Spit&Roast. Hope some of you can make it down

Heres a link

More plugging, please follow us on twitter @spitandroast for locations, menus & pictures etc

Shameless self promotion time I'm afraid but some of you might be interested - I recently bought a shiny new food truck and with my chicken skin addicted business partner Justin we have launched Spit&Roast. Its a lovely van with 36 bird rotisserie where we roast off finest Suffolk free range chickens, Blythburgh pork loins and all manner of meaty delights. Jewel in the crown though is our buttermilk marinaded chicken, fried off in spicy southern style to a ridiculous crispness and served up with cornbread muffins and our own herb gravy. We'll be at Brockley Market this saturday and eat.st from 14th May onwards. Hope some of you can make it down. Here's what one of our first customers made of it all

On at LMNH from 2pm also. Beer, pie + spring classics, bloody perfect

An amazing day out, beautifully planned & signed, great atmosphere the whole way round - coming round that bend onto the steep part of Canonbie just made me laugh a little and throw some proper respect to the fixed / singlespeed contingent up ahead. Chapeau! If my gears hadn't been skipping I'd have made made it #probblynot[/URL][URL="http://www.lfgss.com/post2795746-254.html"]

Oh good - should get the (almost certainly) hungover heart pumping

Jesus how accurate are these maps, one of them has the start of Canonbie Rd at 19.7% (contemplates Ricco style blood transfusion)

Will be good to meet some forumengers on the run - I'll be on a red Guerciotti and my friend Justin on my blue / white panasonic colours Merckx. On tubs. Oh dear... Starting around 9-30. A photographer friend of mine, Jon Mortimer (check his website) will be stationed outside the Prospect of Whitby on Wapping Wall from around 10 onwards with a view to immortalising us all in 'epic' fashion... give him a smile / grimace...

Afternoon all, just to let you know the entrants list is now published. A tense scroll down the list and YYYEEESSS! In.... see you there!

Hello again Snapper met you and Mr Spintoofast at Spaltenna last year, shame your not heading over again - oh well 2013 eh? The video brought back some great memories. Can't wait to get back out to Tuscany, watching Cancellara on the Bianchi today was pretty humbling / inspiring.

Healthy looking list!

I got the water bottle last year, actually quite a nice Alu job with cork stopper and L'eroica etching, finished the bike off a treat. Water was a bit of an issue for me in the 30c heat last year! Think the helmet is new this year but guessing it may well be some sort of hairnet style affair? Plenty of folk rocking those last year, including myself. Full style points but probably do more harm than good if your head was to actually collide with the strade bianchi...

Flying to Bologna is not often mentioned, around £90 with BA (so no charges for bike box carriage) and then piss easy 2 hour drive down SS1 to montevarchi (home to the Prada factory) and on to Gaiole. Worth considering

Last year I managed to find some 28c Continental Supersport whitewall beauties, with Kevlar etc. I think they are late 80's vintage. They were bloody superb and I recommend unreservedly!

BOOOM! In for me and Nick I reckon. Last year took until about April till they released the list of participants, I'm pretty sure we're all safe though. Came in to work on the Guerciotti today to remind myself to register. Which worked, a satisying end to a hellish day in the kitchen. Looking forward to meeting you all ove chianti and vintage frames...

Title says it all, on 5Live now talking doping etc and taking calls soon. Ah nice lie in bed on a day off

Thanks, looks superb! (begins ebay search for Rene Herse / Mercier / Peugeot)

You had me at 'cracking meal afterwards'

Almost certainly going for the Retro Ronde, got a lovely 1985 Merckx which should be just the ticket!

Excellent news! Shame theres 9 months to go. Still we all need something to look forward too... The little bar in town ('Bar Jolly Cafe') was great last year too... excellent patron, and despite being the size of a galley kitchen had about 20 single malts, 10 grappas and 15 red wines by the glass. And seemed to shut about 2am...

Yeah its almost a small village about 5 minutes from the main square. Absolutely gorgeous, outdoor & indoor pool etc and they were well set for l'eroica - their meeting room was set up as storage / workshop idea which was a bonus. The breakfast is genuinely one of the best i've had, little home made custard donuts etc nom nom nom.

Booked up Castello Spaltenna again. Ruinously expensive but utterly delightful, and if you approach the unlimited prosecco on the breakfast buffet as I did last year its probably better value than a Premier Inn, and with no chance of stumbling into Lenny Henry. Will be on the 79 Guerciotti again and will not be the last at the start line (may depend on prosecco consumption)

Christ that Anjou one looks great, Saumur one of France's great white wines. Thanks for the heads up!

Can't think of a better thread to post this in, anyone keen?

L'eroica last year was stupendous, life changing perhaps. But Octobers a long way off... and the cobbles are calling
