Looks spectacular mate - always happens in anything i do that i think i've done alright at get to the top there is a pensioner doing burpees at the top.

Haha, that's inevitable mate. There was a bloke climbing the Passo Rombo at the same time as us. Reckon he must have been at least 60. Got chatting to him a bit and we rode together for a few km. Then he starts out of the saddle and giving it some. Manage to keep up for a bit before he kills me. Few corners up the road the wily old sod's sat in a cafe having an espresso On my way down I saw him latched on to someone else giving them the same working over Not a bad way to spend a day like

I have to say, that whilst it's not a particularly nice looking kit, I can't quite see what all the fuss is? Are people seriously thinking that the beige bit looks as though there's nothing there?

Some of the cycle routes down the east coast of the UK are pretty boss...

Look at me, saying boss.

whats in a Gel pack and whats the taste?

Usually sugar and caffeine. Most taste ok but nothing like real food. I generally only use them for the times when you can't eat normal food ie really high effort periods

Gels are a bit crappy, not a huge fan, they don't give you much to work with and caffeine is somewhat debatable I find. Ok if you want a quick blast but that's about it, cereal bars, flapjack or a little carrot cake are my favs!

To be fair, it was tongue in cheek (I think) but it begs the question why it was worth appearing in a national newspaper in the first place.

It's at times like this I'm sure you're glad you started the 'secretly fancy' thread huh?

daily mail is busy making sure we're kept abreast of cutting news stories.
