Now for something completely different...

I just now happened to stumble upon this website. I didn't even know cycling board games existed. I hope I can resist their siren call - I'd hate to turn into a couch cyclist.

Bikes: Dale MT2000. Bianchi FS920 Kona Explosif. Giant TCR C. Boreas Ignis. Pinarello Fp Uno.

Think I am all "Game" played out. Only time I get on the computer is last thing at night or early in the morning when my activities in the garden might disturb the neighbours.

But didn't even look at it but Chain Reaction Cycles had an advert on the website for a cycle computer game. As I say- I did not even look at it but with cycling being the "In" sport right now- then expect more to come.

Never play board or computer games but I have watched a few of those game piece riders on eBay auctions over time. The rare and really old ones go for a fortune. Can't figure this out, same as I cannot fathom playing computer or "smartphone" games (makes the name smartphone seem an oxymorom to me, YMMV)

We are cut from the same cloth, aren't we?

What is the air speed of an unladen swallow?
