Anyone seen Mark Beaumonts show about his round the world cycle ride ? Toying with the idea of going to the Bolton show at the Albert Halls on the 18th ,might be worth a night out.

Ooops sorry ! No he did NOT get hit by a car in the US...honest ! Bolton at night can be "interesting" especially on a Thursday for some reason.If i go it will be in the car,i can lock the doors !!!!

You've just made me look to see where he's going... Weston Super Mare looks to be the closest to Bristol but mid week... is a pain. I am tempted though - now I have to see if I can tempt either Mr Summerdays or a friend.

I was looking at a leaflet about it on Monday and I thought so too.bromptonfb said:
I'm poor so it is a lot of money to me but I imagine that most people on the huge sums of money that are quoted as being the 'average' wage wouldn't think twice about paying that.
Unless my income picks up this year, I'm going to have to stick to CycleChat rides and audaxes because I can't afford to spend £25-40 on sportives any more.
