Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

To be fair a massive majority of drivers do behave like total dickwads

Vehicle excise duty for vehicles with 0 CO emissions is £0. So cycles fit perfectly into that system - zero emissions = zero rated vehicle excise duty

Surrey Phil - my chip.failed at Rotterdam last year- took about 6 weeks but I'm sorted eventually using pics enroute & the timings that did work so hopefully they should be able to sort it.

Thanks for the advice, Jovi Runner. They know what gun time I finished and I have just found myself on a video crossing the start line for which I have taken a screen shot and e-mailed. After locating two people in front of me, I can prove from their results that I started around 24:02 after the gun. Hopefully, that proof should be enough to get it fixed sooner rather than later.

Chip problem has been resolved after sending a screenshot of me starting the race with the start time and gun-chip differentials of those runners around me. Official results will be updated with this later today. Hopefully, that will be the end of it.

+1 for both the Bud light advert (back a few pages), and what Fleecy said about the majority of drivers being dickwads. A lot of people round our way seem to view redlights as optional guidance....

Stupid weather which is still pretty cold and miserable today in Cardiff, but is set to be ridiculously warm for VLM on Sunday.

Me, for constantly moaning about the weather.

[Glad you got the chip problem resolved SP!]

I screamed very loudly and swearily at a dickwad driver today who turned left across my cycle lane without signalling.
