Cycle Addiction

One more week!! Yes that's right, only one more week untill we bid a fond farewell to our Hamilton premises. Last day of trading Saturday 25th September. But we are having a farewell party here from 3-6pm on Saturday, so call in and have a drink with us, it will be great to see you!

Well, what an interesting Tour so far. It seems that Lance is hiding that magic somewhere still or perhaps still digging around to find it, whilst is arch rival Contador is pulling away from him. But it certainly isn't a done deal yet......lots more mountains to climb and there are a few 'sleepers' in the bunch not yet showing their hand. Keep an eye on Basso and Menchov, they may be yet to pull something off.
