Got to say I really enjoyed it. His style still grates in places, but overall pretty good. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12732#post-153702 Fri, 16 May 2014 05:56:37 +0000 Nelly 153702@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cyclingmollie<br /> "if the three of you had a bike race, who would win?"</p> <p>Would be Richard Moore, hands down.

Enjoyed the serialisation on R4 this morning enough that I gave in and bought it. Would rather have paper, but at that price, the promise of instant gratification for bedtime reading too good to pass up. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12732#post-152309 Wed, 07 May 2014 10:58:23 +0000 SRD 152309@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah, I looked at it on amazon and assumed it had been out a whole, since out in paper. Now see release date 1 may, so out, but unlikely to be already ripe for loaning... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12732#post-152307 Wed, 07 May 2014 10:55:32 +0000 Cyclingmollie 152307@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@SRD, the copy I read was borrowed but I will mention you when I hand it back.

I've read everything Tim Moore has ever written including a proof copy of his latest, Gironimo. I thought Ned Boulting's first book about cycling, once you got past the off putting title, was more perceptive than many written by experienced cycling journalists (*cough* Michael Barry *cough*). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12732#post-152064 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:05:26 +0000 PS 152064@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Try Cycle It starts at 7.30, so I toyed with the idea of watching the first hour then popping next door for the Lips (presuming their stage time is 9pm). However, given the inconvenience to others of exiting from the middle of a row and the fact that my friends could get the benefit of watching the whole thing, I decided against that plan... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12732#post-152008 Mon, 05 May 2014 20:37:45 +0000 Try Cycle 152008@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>didn't realise it was the same night as flaming lips so can't make it :( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12732#post-151843 Sun, 04 May 2014 21:21:36 +0000 gembo 151843@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Saw the lips at usher hall before. Put on a good show. After he came out the big see through beach ball he was walking on top of the crowd In, Wayne was exorting us at the end to be nice to strangers who might be sad. Found this all very droll as wondered whether strangers might tell me to F off. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12732#post-151837 Sun, 04 May 2014 21:06:20 +0000 PS 151837@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have tix, but am passing them on to a friend as it clashes with The Flaming Lips next door at the Usher Hall. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12732#post-151821 Sun, 04 May 2014 19:08:50 +0000 Kim 151821@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone going?
