Christmas in July

Published by Big Red One on July 1st, 2010

The Tour is without doubt the biggest Pro bike race in the World. It's not my favourite, but being a bike junkie I love the fact there is so much of it on TV. Today we saw the Teams being presented, and many are wearing new kit (want to say uniforms for some reason), to signal new sponsors, or in the case of Cervelo to deal with the heat a little better.

New Scott Machine

I have always liked Scott bikes, even in the lurid white/yellow combo it has something about it that shouldn't work but does.

Haussler, Lloyd and the story of three beers

Published by Big Red One on June 27th, 2010

When this news came through the other day I found it had mixed blessings. I was gutted for Haussler as he's had a season so far plauged with niggling little injuries that kept him out of the Classics, and now the Tour. For me his stage win last year was the hi-light of the whole Tour. It was full of drama, passion and excitement.

So Hausslers loss is Dan Lloyds gain. I always try to say hello to Dan whenever I am at a race, and gracefully he always has some words for your over exciteable writter.

The Weather…

This weeks weather has been nothing short of stunning. It started off a little cooler in the week & the temperature dial has slowly been turned up day by day. Currently it's around 7am & well the Met office says it all.

Teething Problems

Published by Big Red One on June 20th, 2010

So I'm having a few issues getting it all to work, but I will persit with it if only to use the post from email option. I think it's a great way to post when busy and on the move. So hang in there readers, I'll get it sorted but I'm no tech geek.

Bloggers Super Site

Published by Big Red One on June 20th, 2010

Many of of like to blog & post our thoughts up on their own site. Today I thought it'd be cool to have a Super site. Instead of just posting on forums people of a like mind could get together when they had the chance to pop something on.

We've seen print magazines like The Ride do this with great effect. I think it'd be pretty cool to have something like it. No egos no agendas just bikes & the world surrounding it.

Now what to call it?
