Good to see some things never change, a Brit rider DQed in the Velodrome in the Paralympics, havn't seen it but by all accounts it is very harsh. Only way they can stop us

Looks like i'm going for the Ridgeback Voyage 2012 Touring, cheers for some of the info though.

Not many really and of those not a huge amount of difference except in specification, it's only when you get to a handbuilt frame yo'll notice the true difference as it'll be made to measure.
Bikes are so individual as are we so it's never a case of one type/size fits all.

Voyager is a decent bike, the Sora shifters are a bit naff though, my sis in law has them on her Specialized Allez and they are a pole apart from the Tiagra level shifters in terms of ease of use.

is the tt hilly in the worlds this time?

Wiggo & Cav and a few other big names doing the tour of Brittain this year, be nice for them both to get the plaudits

Not really. It's in the Limburg region of the Netherlands, so it's hardly running over the Andes, but there are couple of lumps. [url=http://www.limburg2012.nl/section.php?sid=items_en&items_vmd=svw&items_id=parcoursenAll course details here[/url

never call a Limberger 'dutch' - they will be offended ! nice area with exquisite cheeses

the city of Maastricht is beautiful and well worth a visit/ weekend break

Facts I am well aware of, hence my careful choice of words.

looks like a couple of sharp 100m climbs in the womens tt - might make emma pooley a bit happier

Not seen as much of the Vuelta as I'd like this year, but how brutal was the end of yesterday's stage by the way!?
