Just been out for another ride before work tonight, getting the miles in before going up to Yorkshire next weekend for the Tour anyone else going to be near Skipton?

I was going to go. Met a couple out cycling and they so happened to come into my pub the day after and said if I were going over that I could stay with them..... But I decided against it in the end

He's a clown for biting again but those marks are nothing. Soccer players need to stop acting like babies all the time. Such drama queens. Why not just adapt the same rules as Basketball and make it illegal to touch anyone

Sometimes bike paths aren't the safest/best place to be, alot of the ones round me are really poorly surfaced, full of pot holes and drains. Just because its there doesn't mean the cyclist has to use it.

This. And a lot of them have little stones and cobbles. Death traps for punctures.

Yeah going to be yep going up on the Thursday for the Rapha Tempest Fest, staying there for 3 nights then staying in London on the Sunday night ready for the finish of stage 3 on the Monday.

Awesome!

I met a couple out cycling yesterday, and I got chatting away to them. Anyways, long story short, they're from Yorkshire. They both so happened to walk into my pub today and they recognized me straight away. I mentioned to the guy that I was thinking of heading over for the start of the tour. He ended up giving me his email + number and told me to get in contact with him if I decide to head over. They have spare bikes and and I'm pretty much guaranteed a place to stay with them.

I'll mention it to my boss and see if I could get 3 or 4 days off work

My birthday is on 4th July so would be a awesome way to celebrate it

Just begun Insanity! I am not new to interval training but after just two days I can tell it's another level up!

You'll be able to swim in all your sweat. Its disgusting. So good though.

Not sure why we would sell Alberto, he's still very young. I'd rather we loan him out for the season and see how he gets on elsewhere. But yeah, Aspas can leave, he's awful.

Could get bus from Armagh to Newry then get train down I think

Bus sorted from Armagh to Newry. I think buses will go from Newry to Dublin - its all motorway and I'm almost sure the Giro isn't traveling via the motorway. Tweeted translink anyway on twitter just to make sure

Train?

Would there be a train from Armagh + if so what train? Cos that's where I'll be on Sunday when I finish

Shouldn't have left all this planning to the last minute. I've my last exam tomorrow (not till 1:30pm thank god) and I've to pack all my stuff and leave where I'm staying. STRESS.

1) As far as I know, you get the 2D service and it should take over half an hour, depending were you're getting it from.

2) 250 or 271 iirc although you can check at the station in case it's changed.

3) Where? Belfast has good/decent bars such as Lavery's and one across from Great Victoria Street, I'm sure about in Newtownabbey/Armagh.

4) Link

If you're on it, it may be advised to tweet Translink to be sure in case the bus services I gave you is wrong.

Perfect, thanks. Do all the buses leave from the Europa bus station or is there more bus stations?

Just go to Dundalk. I'm playing a cup final in Oriel Park on Sunday, Giro going through there too

I have no clue as to how I'm going to get to Dublin from Armagh on Sunday. I'm supposed to be staying with my uncle in Dublin cos he's driving to Kerry the day after but with all these road closures I think I'm going to be stranded in Armagh.

What do you need to know? I'll try to help you.

Great, thank you.

1) How far from Belfast is Newtownabbey? And which bus do I get to get there?

2) Which bus can I get down to Armagh?

3) Which pub (s) would be best to visit?

4) I'll have a good bit of free time so what else is good to visit or do?

If United do manage to spend £200 million, how the hell are they going to pass FFP?

Also, saying ye have that much to spend is stupid. Clubs are just going to hold ye to ransom now knowing ye have money to burn. Or else I hope that is what's going to happen anyway
