Great little update, envy the variety of short fell races you have to choose from Gman. Unfortunately my cousin doesn't live in Oxenhope anymore although his ex-wife and 2 daughters do!

Tour de France, shame about Richie Porte crashing out, I thought he was the only one who could challenge Froome this year, don't think he'll have any problem extending his lead in the time trial now.

Well, you called it BB. Although I don't think you were sticking your kneck out too far We had a ride-up the Grand Columbier and Mont du Chat the other week and I whinced altittle going past the Porte/Martin horror corner. Good climbs though. And a wonderful part of the world.

Do you ever try and get to the Vuelta? I'm hoping the Sky stranglehold will relent at the front and we'll get some decent racing.

I know you saw some cycling in Ponferrada a few years back. We've got the same to look forward to in Yorkshire in 2019. They say Yorkshire is the new Belgium.
