David Fishwick:

Any idea if there'll be a market on the event with BetFair? SP.

Jack Bauer has to be favourite.

think I will have a ride over on tuesday to watch some of the stoke action out on the moors.

(what's the best paint for slapping down on the roads? planning on doing a bit this week)

Initially I was just going to leave my post like this: "?" David Fishwick Minibus Sales.

But then I thought I would be helping you out if I asked someone whom would know, so the answer to your question is: Acrylic paint. It's fast drying, and if you select one with a matt finish it won't cause slippage for the tyres likely to cover it.

No worries,
SP

Oh! and yes there is a market on the
overall race winner and top 3 at BetFair.

Some good value on there.

Cheers,
SP

great atmosphere @ the top of Gun Hill yesterday.
Anticipation started building for a good while b4 hand but as per usual they went past in a flash.
Not sure what all the fuss was about cat 1 Gun Hill thought it was pretty mediocre in terms of a hill climb.
I have a dozen alot more severe virtually on the doorstep.

The Tour of Britain looks a poor relation compared to the other tours. Hopefully it will grow in stature given the increasing popularity of cycling in Britain and the quality of rider attracted to this year's event. ITV4 are reporting good viewing figures and there were enthusiastic crowds en route as you witnessed geoff. I guess the problem is fitting a bigger event into the calendar. One week isn't a proper tour. They should spend a week in Scotland for example where we can provide more challenging hills. Some of the categorized climbs we saw last week were, frankly, pathetic.
