Pah,

could any of these so called "cyclists" complete the Bike To The Bank marathon ?

No chance.  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Steep Hill is not quite a vertical drop.

Hello gents. I know nothing about the tour but am increasingly interested. I just wondered if anybody could tell me what would be considered a successful tour for Wiggins, Millar and Cavendish?

Wiggins and Miller are both hoping for a top 10-15 place by the end of the race,

Cavendish is looking to win as many stages as poss,

He is a sprinter so he wins when the stage is flat,

At the moment he is the fastest sprinter in the world,

Last year he won 4 stages,

This year he will be looking for 6-7 wins,

At present Cavendish has won 2 so hopefully another 4 or 5 to come ,

Miller and Wiggins are both good time trialists,

So later in tour , one of them might win that stage,

The mountains are a killer , so we will find out in the next 3 days who will be in contention and who falls behind,

We then go back on the flat but there sre some more moutain stages later.

Hope that gives you a bit of an idea of what to expect,
