Or an anti-bac laundry add-in. I think Detol do one.

PFP wants to ride road, Ineos don’t have a women’s road team. I think she’s retired from MTB.

EDIT – yes, that was always her plan. https://www.bicycling.com/news/a60960617/pauline-ferrand-prevot-to-retire-from-mountain-biking-to-focus-on-road/

And Q36.5 currently use Scott bikes.

I turned off with 20km to go.

On Pidcock – they mentioned on the cycling podcast that the owner of Q36.5 is worth £11B. So potentially plenty of money to buy him out from his contract.

The about page from her substack is a good intro: https://jilloutside.substack.com/about

The Charismatic Voice is a great channel. Her reaction to The Darkness “I believe in the thing called love” is worth a watch, and then the Justin Hawkins reaction video to her reaction video, which led to a joint interview/discussion.

I can spend hours going down the reaction video rabbit hole. Last time with the Ren “Kujo Beat down”  videos, and catching up on the backstory behind it.

(Slight warning, the Ren video for the song contains some potentially disturbing imagery and naughty words)

I’ll take a look at the channel you’ve posted Cougar, I’ve also been down the SoS rabbit hole in the past!

No experience, but they have a slightly dodgy reputation. Other online services are available.

8 then.

And position too, is your road position more efficient/aero?

Did the 190km (or whatever it was) in 2009 as my first road sportive, then the 300km Devil the first year they ran that. Good event back then, the 300 was quite a long ride but definitely worth doing for the experience. It did get pretty quiet when it split from the 220km one, suddenly you were with just one or two others until it rejoined the main route.

Oh, salted roasted new potatoes at the feed stop were very welcome.

Free version of “Home Workout”. I’ve done a couple of runs through their 4 week programme, no equipment needed and you can adjust how hard things are through the 4 weeks.

Lots of press up variations, core exercises, stretches etc.

I read Nicole Cook’s book quite soon after it came out. It was pretty eye-opening on the poor treatment she received and the sorry state of the support for women’s cycling at the time.

He lost a minute or two yesterday – seems to be a pattern, rider has a rubbish day, then tests positive and (sometimes) pulls out.

Almeida out, COVID.

Have you got the little white chevron pointing up? Click that.

Played keyboards in a band at uni, now just guitar. I’m decent now after a lot of focus from the start of 2020.

My dad had two Fuegos – started with a second hand one, then a new one when he was posted to Germany and could buy tax free. It had a remote to unlock the doors! Which was pretty special at the time. It was the GTS, 0-60 in 10.2s I think. Of course, I wanted him to get the Turbo, but no chance.

I mentioned Pret – the Guardian report said “Pret a Manger’s ham and greve baguette – too much salt, saturated fat and total fat, and also too many calories, as judged against official nutritional analysis criteria.”

Pret baguette: Energy (Kcal) 596, Fat (g) 25.9, Carbohydrates (g) 57.4, Protein (g) 31.5, Salt (g) 3.85

Compared to a Big Mac: 590 Kcal. 25g Protein, 46g Total Carbs, 34g Total Fat

How do people feel about enforcing calorie information on restaurant and takeaway foods? I’m one of those that looks at the info and takes an informed decision, what’s surprising is how few options there are in the average pub chain menu below 1000 kcals.

Availability, cost, simplicity, education, culture, human nature.

Heathier options need to be available, particularly for eating out and takeaways. If I want to buy a healthy lunch, I have far more choice in London than I do locally. Availability is driven by commercial factors.

Unhealthy options seem cheaper when eating out. Bag of chips? Burger? Cheaper compared to a freshly made salad with enough in it to compete on attraction with the burger and chips.

Simplicity. Many people know that cooking from scratch with fresh ingredients can be cheaper than buying a ready meal but it takes perceived time and effort. Which leads to…

Education. I didn’t really learn to cook until after uni. Before that I used to heat frozen things. It took time to learn how I could turn a few things into a healthy meal in 20 minutes. But not everyone feels they have the time and energy to do that.

Culture. If I’m in the (London) office with others we’ll go to Itsu 90% of the time, Pret the other 10%. No-one has ever said “lets go to McDonalds”. We’re lucky to have the money, availability and knowledge to pick places with healthier options.

Human nature. We crave fat and sugar. If it’s there in front of me I’ll eat it, so I’ll avoid those temptations.

Well I have had no clue for years and never won ?

You’ve got this. This is your time to shine.

Knowing how the scoring works isn’t needed AA, I won the dolphiny one without any clue.

E – Veg stir fry with marinated tofu and teriyaki sauce.

D – Water, then a low alcohol Beavertown

L – Some terrible thing on BBC that seems right out of the Alan Partridge pitch book.

Crazy, crazy times.

Almeida and Del Toro in my fantasy team. Also taken a punt on TaoGH.

New Soudal Quickstep kit for the Vuelta. Love it!

Pretty sure the generating companies are getting well paid for it.

What they’re stealing is your wind and rain.

Chocolate toffee slices in our 1970s/1980s household.

Ha, yeah, nice reminder as we’ve done the Vesuvius public bus…its a mad experience although the madder one was the bus back from Positano to Sorrento; dark by the time we set off, overcrowded and hot as we were thrown around the twisty roads for what seemed like hours, one lady collapsed as she got off at Sorrento

Oh, done that one too. Best bit was where there was road works closing one lane and temp traffic lights. We came up to a queue of three cars waiting at a red light. Bus driver just ignored the queue and red light and carried on going. On the way back he pretty much ran a couple of cars off the road that weren’t going fast enough for him.

Local trains are fine too. Public transport in Italy is part of the experience.

Both are great in different ways. Pompeii for the scale, Herculaneum for the preservation.

They used to do free entry days once a month for Herculaneum. We turned up to find massive queues, so quickly booked a trip to Vesuvius – a mad minibus trip and then an hour or so to climb up and wander around. That was good, then when we got back to Herc about 90 mins before closing there were no queues and free entry.

no, the gold medal is decided by who can lift the most weight, not who looks the “best”.

I think the question relates to having to lift an extra 5kg (for example) with the legs from the squat position.

I was wondering the same, but I guess whatever works for them, works for them.

You’re all perverts!

Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it.

And try bovril toast too.

Yeah, Adam Blythe explained it well on Eurosport – they pull so hard on the bars they can come too far forward and off the saddle.

Eaten Bovril toast for breakfast 95% of my mornings since I was about 5.

They have their own poles and have to find flights that take them: https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/paris-2024-summer-olympics/how-pole-vaulters-travel-with-poles-mondo-duplantis/3932438/#:~:text=Pole%20vaulters%20travel%20with%20poles,massive%20poles%20to%20worry%20about.
