Nice to see the continued resurfacing on Drumcondra Road Lower although there's still a good bit more to do but any improvement is welcome.

If only Wicklow Co. Co. could do a decent job on the Old Military Road from Kippure gate to Sally Gap. Potholes seem to be filled with shovel loads of tar. It's like navigating an obstacle course!

And the bit between the top of stocking lane and glencree - every time i go over that i get irritated and the awful bumpy surface.

Might deserve a thread of it's own, but an investigation into Pantani's failed drug test has shown Criminal involvement and the Camorra had it changed.

Now so dirty was the sport at this time that he may not have been clean at all, but from the film (I may be wrong), wasn't this the beginning of the end for him and saw his downward spiral into depression. Tragic either way.

The italian investigative process is crazy, as far as I can make out. A prosecutor with an agenda can make anything happen. I'll be interested to read more about it ... but I'm sceptical.

Yeah very true. Another one I'd ready stated it was all to be thrown out, though it was a bad translation.

Twould be a great Italian soap opera if true though, the cycling jesus who died for all our sins. Grande Marco!

Two spokes gone on rear wheel today. I got another one replaced about 3 months ago on the same wheel.

Sucks. Get some spokes and DIY? It's not that difficult at all really. Just use good spoke keys.

Milano-Sanremo goes back to its roots. Following last year’s return of the race finish to the Via Roma, the Classicissima will be held on March 19 this year. That’s St Joseph’s Day, which Milano-Sanremo used to take place on regardless of which day of the week it fell on.

According to here anyway...

So we've all heard about the brave new world of autonomous cars which will be at our beck-and-call. But how about an autonomous bike?

Of course, the obvious question is: Will the bike stop at stop signs?

Har har.

Fattling my way up Cruagh Road this morning, Ford Focusing on other things while I tried to keep my HR in zone 2ish.

Looked down at the old speedo and saw 3kph...I didn't know you could be upright at 3kph!

Via Beyond the Kerb, a retort to the next time that someone posts that cyclists riding on the footpath are a menace* - taken from bin trucks on the Isle of Wight:

WTF, I can't beleive 1 car would try that, never mind the amount in that vid.

A different kind of cyclist stereotype:

"The family are keen to keep their carbon footprint down, even when they are at home in Melbourne and shower just once a week."

I am in no way questioning a mod decision, but are there actually workplaces where it's OK to watch noisy non-work-related Youtube videos but only if there's no swearing?

Tell the truth. Did you cause it when you ditched your bike and started running?

Get well soon from both the Try-athlism and your injuries.

How do people feel about cyclists who undertake cyclists who decide to stop at a lights or indeed undertaking a cyclist at any time who isnt turning right.

Told to go take a valium for pointing out such conduct.
