Don't know what forecast that is? Met Office have heavy rain and 20mph wind. At least its blowing from the south so coming back shouldn't be so bad.

Well done to scott and rikeh for geting the miles in and seeing the tour of britain live, Myself and dennis also watch the race live at the top of the talla climb.The pro's make it look easy even on a hard climb great day out. The slab.

Jens must have been very proud, getting his pic taken with the champ - pehaps the pinnacle of his career and certainly something to tell his grandkids..... when he phones them after the race! Laughing Mon the Albert! Smile

The Slab is Back!

Pics of The Slab and me (mostly the Slab) at the Beef Tub and Talla are now on the website.

Also, video of the the ToB bunch riding up the Talla climb. Cavendish in 7th position.

To see these pros ride up a major climb in our own back-yard was fantastic. They made it look sooo easy.
