This morning I woke to find that Rasmussen was no longer yellow jersey leader of this years Tour de France. Now it is best to point out that Rasmussen has not failed any dope tests or returned any positive results. He has been sacked by his team; Rabobank, following the confusion about his location regarding his missed out of race drug tests. At first I was pleased to know that Contador would move...

Say it is not true? Please, just say it was one of those April Fool’s joke but a couple of months late. Yet given the speed the Astana bus left last night you can only presume that Vinokourov has a big fight on his hands trying to prove he is not guilty of blood doping. Either that or he comes clean and disappears from the cycling scene as another broken dream. I added this picture to my Flickr...

Today saw the first day in the Pyrenees and it is now turning out to be a completely awesome tour. Since before the Tour started my money was on Alexandre Vinokourov to take the yellow; Robbie McEwen for the green and good old Michael Rasmussen for the polka dot. Vino deserves the tour win, for so long he has sat in the shadows of some one else and now with time against him this could have been...

The other month I wrote aboutthe condition of the local cycle paths and more importantly the plans to change the Highway Code in respect of the use of these paths. Well I signed the petition to campaign against it and it turned out to be a fruitful exercise; check out the response You recently signed a petition asking the Prime Minister to “Listen to cyclists and not approve the revised highway...

The idea of taking part in another end2end cycle ride has always been at the back of my mind. In fact Dave did talk of it after last year’s ride but due to work commitments and the like it was quickly forgotten. Now that there is a bit of a cycling buzz back in the air with the Tour currently taking place the thought of trying again is strong. So strong in fact that we have set a date to work too;...

This year’s Tour is off to a great start, especially given last years mess. The Prolouge was off to a great start, Britain’s hope was in the form of David Millar and Bradley Wiggins. Perosnally I did not think that either of them would be wearing the yellow at the end of the day but I really did not think that Fabian Cancellara would smash the field wide open by 15 seconds! Stage 1 deffinately...

On Sunday the 7th July the Tour de France will start her in old Blighty; the prologue taking place around London with Stage 1 on Sunday starting in London and heading 190km down to Canterbury. Last Sunday was the turn of the dedicated, serious or down right sucidical cyclists out there in the world. The British Cyclosportive was the chance for every day cyclists to have a go at the very same stage...

Yesterday was the second part of my motorcycle career; the Theory Test. The Theory Test is something I never had to complete when learning to drive a car but due to the changes in the law on motorcycle tests I had to take one before I’m allowed out on ‘big’ bikes. The test is taken in two parts; the first part is a section on general Highway code knowledge and takes the form of multiple choice...

Yesterday was the first part of my motorcycling adventure; the CBT. CBT (Compulsary Basic Training) is a standard you must achieve before you can ride a motorbike on the road in the UK. Thanks to Ian and Ivan at Excel Rider Training who made the day; despite the weather! The next step to to practice my theory and hazard perception tests, then book a theory and see where we go. Until then I could...
