Anyone going? Shame they are doing it in June, could have made it a part of the Festival of Cycling... ;-)

I have tix, but am passing them on to a friend as it clashes with The Flaming Lips next door at the Usher Hall.

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.

didn't realise it was the same night as flaming lips so can't make it :(

@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...

Much as I like listening to the Lips, I like reading about cycling more. 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*).

Richard Moore's books are very good as well.

I'm wondering what I should ask if they take questions from the audience. How about "if the three of you had a bike race, who would win?".

Anyone have a copy of 'gironimo' I could borrow to read this week? (Off sick)
Posted 10 years ago # -
@SRD, the copy I read was borrowed but I will mention you when I hand it back. It's not been published yet.

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...

Kindle version now £3.49. 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.

Really enjoying this. Miles better than the TdF book.

I heard some of Radio 4's book of the week this morning and have just realised that this thread referred to it. 1st episode still on bbc iplayer for 4 days ...

"if the three of you had a bike race, who would win?"Would be Richard Moore, hands down. Assuming he has no ongoing I'll effects from his new(ish) hip.

Didn't plan this, but just finished reading Gironimo whole watching the final stage (after a family cycle). Got to say I really enjoyed it. His style still grates in places, but overall pretty good.
