It's really 3 times. He's trapped in a loveless marriage and taking it out on everyone else

Thinking about this, it depends on the course as to how many riders are left and the type of finish. Some parcours are going to have a larger field & others much slower uphill

I think the idea is to either remove them or not have the last 5km like this. Some of the riders need to take responsibility too. There was some very bad riding - it is often someone else that gets hurt

I've seen U16's be less choppy than that last 5km

What legislation to get people to work? The Transformation Fund is to pay civil servant exit costs and bring in AI/Tech. No mention of the apprenticeship guarantee.
Labour have a 138 or so majority so this is as good as done.

Can I just get off this ride somewhere? Seems like it's just self-destructing

It is never irrelevant when it comes to government.

I've got less filler in the cracks in our walls

This seems like the least surprising thing she has ever done

I imagine it is probably the naughty teachers they want to send to Alton Towers

Try to actually build some social housing in this country owned by councils. Don't leave it to the private sector, they won't do it.
1. provides employment
2. reduces cost of housing
3. which means people can spend more
4. save NHS billions
5. better employment

The endless analysis of their lives and performance means many are close to the edge a lot of the time.

Sporza means you have the sound but can't understand the air-filing stupidity (if there is some). Pet hate - commentators that invent nicknames for riders which they have never had.

Daughter has put together a package for potential sponsors to help this season as she has no team in 2025. More information on her blog zoerochecycling.wordpress.com/about-me/

Yep, that should be a blue bag containing Stella. White is an immediate 300 CHF fine and 2 month suspension

They had to realign all the pave after this ride. Some people

I think it's about killing the cats. They say she is a cat lady.. essentially a witch at this point.
