  1. Billions S7 on Showmax. I find that the pace of the story telling has picked up remarkably compared to prior seasons.
  2. I read it in the Spongebob voice.
  3. Is this a record? 10 years from the last (and only) post?
  4. The YT feed had split times. I didn't find the commentary too chunder-worthy.
  5. Rai is not broadcasting this year's race 🤬
  6. Figured it out. Husband of a current women's pro MTBer, probably this country's best at the present moment.
  7. Mr House narrowly beat Mr Cervelo Test Team at the British Nationals in '09. https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/ncgreat-britain/2009/result

  10. Please share, John. In 2011 I wasn't part of the cycling landscape so jokes aside I'm genuinely interested.
  11. Good morning, Hubber historians. I spotted a race this morning called the Tour of South Africa, which took place once only in 2011. Some Englishman took the win, but a few big Saffas in the mix. Why did it die? Something funny about STAGE 2 - Sandton to Sandton was never completed due to too much traffic on the parcours. It seems like nothing has changed. https://cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/race.asp?raceid=19946 Stage 4 looked brutal.
  12. They'll sell if for a gram of coke. They don't understand it's worth.
  13. There's no getting around it, cycling is expensive. New, shiny things, that is. Time to stop worrying about the price, and getting the fitness up there with what you own now! I've had people beat me on "inferior" equipment, and I've beaten people on superior equipment. These kinds of marginal gains are truly meant for the elite athletes. I'm pretty sure Matt Beers' new S-Works fully decked out will cost about the same as his sponsored Hilux.
  14. This option is just fine. A mate of mine @TyronLab completed an epic race on a Rook gravel bike, and wrote quite a lot about it. It's worth a read and quite inspirational.
  15. I've had a Simple Sam (steel), and I currently own a Rook Race (alu) single speed. Zero difference other than the weight. I've ridden mine plenty of places, and will keep on riding it as it's an awesome training tool, and it draws some ooohs and aaahs as well with the special paint job from Rook at the time.
  16. You forgot your comic sans.
  17. Why TF aren't they upfront about this? Unless the miles long T&Cs covers it, in which case the onus will always be on the policy holder.
  18. Enjoy it bud, I've been down once and DNF'd, I was beyond upset. We still had a pretty enjoyable weekend in WC though.
