20 years on, still going strong. Even if it's only in our hearts and minds.
The closest tour ever.
Hard to believe the bike below had the UCI's panties in such a knot.

Perhaps the coolest team ever. PDM
The ultimate hard man, Sean Kelly.

I've been on the lookout for a needle for sometime.
Well I found it.

The C-record is standing by - but the best bit is it's actually a 57cm, not a 56cm as described.
How many ways are there to measure CENTRE to CENTRE!
As long as it works in your favour, then there is no problem.
Will look very nice next to Dan's already swelling stable of classic road steeds. Merckx, Tommasini, Concorde.
Mad Cow Disease.
The beaten path ain't half as much fun. Beat your own.
NR was keen to break in his 40mm tyres on his latest project, so we did just that.
When the road ended, we beat our own. We laughed, we cried, and we were bloody starving at the end of it all.
Tearing knicks scaling barbed wire fences, getting chased by a herd of hungry cows while simultaneously snowploughing a slippery, boggy field (with camera in one hand), plopping your SIDI's in fresh poo, having to get off and walk because it's just too steep/slippery, and a head wind that changed half way so we never got that tailwind home.
My kind of 'road' ride.

I also did the Hell Ride on Saturday. To think I used to ride it brakeless.
Thanks Wade.
SWAP MEET
Yes, there will be another - sorry about the weather.
Testament to cycling hardness, a mob still turned out to battle the cold wind and rain to BUY, SWAP, and SELL and sample my barista skills.
Just keeping following this space in the ether for details of the next one.

CMWC TOKYO!
