I think Moore, Beaumont and Boardman are the ones that appeal to me.</p> <p>And, as for that clothing range... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16514#post-222658 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 11:06:40 +0000 PS 222658@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Part of his "charm" is that trying-too-hard dandy thing. ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16514#post-222655 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 10:55:43 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 222655@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I do like Millar on the Tour coverage, and he's got insights, and good delivery.</p> <p>At the same time he's a little like the ex-smoker, a bit holier-than-thou. And I can't forgive him that awful clothing range. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16514#post-222653 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 10:53:15 +0000 PS 222653@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Alasdair is William's (Spain-based IIRC) bro. </p> <p>I'd like to get to Boardman - might take the day off for that. I enjoyed David Millar's last appearance at the Book Fest. I find him entertaining and informative. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16514#post-222651 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 10:44:23 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 222651@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Might head along to Tim Moore, really liked French Revolutions. I presume Alasdair is William Jr.?</p> <p>Pity Boardman is middle of the day, no chance of me making that. Still not entirely sure what I think of David Millar... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16514#post-222649 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 10:42:10 +0000 PS 222649@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Also Tim Moore, Alasdair Fotheringham and Mark Beaumont.</p> <p>It's almost as though cycling is popular. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16514#post-222633 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 23:09:54 +0000 chdot 222633@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival/whats-on/chris-boardman" rel="nofollow">https://www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival/whats-on/chris-boardman</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival/whats-on/david-millar-1" rel="nofollow">https://www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival/whats-on/david-millar-1</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16514#post-222632 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 22:34:38 +0000 gembo 222632@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Friday 26th Aug 10a.m. </p> <p>David Millar also on the programme </p>
