Nice use of Clackett Lane services

Pardon my french but racing 100 plus miles on a motorway, how f-ing boring is that. I think they should let us do the SCCU 100 on it instead - I mean TTs are supposed to be on dual carriageaways so why not double up for a four laner

That is well boring. I mean what about a few hills, and descents, that is stupid. I think, they think that because the prologue was flattish and that was good, people are going to enjoy a flat race which is 20 times longer

the stage 1 was good, what about using cheddar gorge, or some other hill?

They'd be much better off using the wednesday night hilly loop around Woldingham and Titsey

I maybe reading things in to this that aren't there - but I noticed that Facility Appraisal Consultant for the Olympic Facility Research Agency as an acronym (FACOFRA) is phonetically quite close to F*** Off.....

Intentional or innocent co-incidence???? Who knows.....

[quote]All I meant was that whenever one stops to ask for directions, one always seems to come across the person least equipped to give them.

The 'shopping' was a cot and a baby-changing cabinet. Its owner happened to be at home when we were coming back from house-hunting in the West Country - we only have a small flat at the moment and are going to have to move in six months' time. So it seemed wise and appropriate to combine the two errands.

As I said before, I would have been willing and more than happy to help out at the race this weekend. I appreciate that everyone makes sacrfices in order to give their time to help, but on this occasion I'm afraid I just couldn't.
