Hello all,

I hope you all got back to London okay.

I found the info on the tour Roman was talking about.
See http://www.alpenbrevet.ch or http://www.alpenbrevet.ch/2008/index.php?pid=seite_strecken
the website is still in German only but they are planning to add the English version over the next days

Looks tough enough to even challenge the A team:

What: Cape Argus
Where: Cape Town, South Africa

Why: The world Biggest Mass Participation Bike Race in the World, some 35,000 entries
Its sunny there

When: March every Year, normally the second Sunday.

Difficulty: Its 109km's around the Cape with 4 climbs, but not climbs like in a Grand Fondo, or Etape (climbs a bit bigger like you get on a ride in the surrey hills)

The end of the cyclo-cross season has come and i feel like i have had a good season with a few off races such as Mallory park, i also achieved the best result of any nationals race i have done with a 4th only a few seconds from 3rd place. a massive boost in self confidence!.

De Ver Cyles young rider Thomas Humphrys came narrowly missed out on a podium finish in the second round of the national cyclocross trophy at Ipswich. The course was muddy and slippery and so suited the more technical riders, and tended to offest the advantage of the older more powerful competitors. Thomas Held 3rd place until the final sprint where the power of his older rival told.
