Yeah, there's quite a bit of Olympic fever taking hold now, which is a good thing. The road race route passes very close to where I live, so I can't wait to get out there and watch. I am very lucky in that my firm is keen on cycling, both for events and more generally for commuting.

You don't have to tell me. I spent my post-ride recovery period washing my bike down in the bath. It was coated in crud, worse than you'd expect for February, let alone June. The weather really isn't good here at the moment.
