[quote="Phil the Pie"]Pubs - plural.
Did you find all of them? There were four within spitting distance of my parents, the Ewe (prev Lamb and Star - Surrey Regiment), the Greyhound, the Cricketers and Marneys Pond Village Inn (prev Alma): the Marquis ofGransby down at the Scilly Isles and we've lost a couple - like the Harrow and the Orleans - a bit further out. And I haven't even got on to the village itself. Oh and the Angel on the Portsmouth Road at Gigg's Hill Green is famous in cycling history - it's where they met to cycle down to Ripley in the early days!
All back to normal at Weston Green, the Hampton Court Way is as busy as it always is... Rather spoils the location...
The band leader does look like Sean, doesn't he? Scary.
And Tony Martin's head does look funny.

Front discs aren't banned in UCI events, they are just a nightmare to control so no one in their right mind would TT on one. They also don't steer very well so they only use them on the track in pursuits, sprinters want to change direction quickly so use spoked wheels instead.
I'll put up some pics when I get a chance to take them off the camera, although I didn't get any of Sean.

Some pics here - [url=http://s115.photobucket.com/albums/n315/andrewgreen23/Olympic%20TT/?albumview=slideshow]slideshow[/url].
Annoyed that my one of Spartacus didn't come out but hey-ho. Some quality bottom bracket examining by Froome, good job the GB TT hats don't have a long point or he'd be doing a Jaws impression.
