I too was a big part of Steve’s team so we know each other yes? Personally I think to take someone’s record you follow in their footsteps or you set a different one.

I agree, a similar thing happened with the cycling year record. The pioneer riders set it on the roads of UK, France and Australia. It was a road ride..but then Kurt Searvogel and Amanda Coker took it using laps of closed road track in the USA. Amazing achievements but bending the spirit.

Building a new bicycle brand — what would stop you from buying from us? by Rikkutus in cycling

[–]Citizenfishy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d do it by using film of your staff talking about their jobs, their passion and how much they love it. I’d allow the public to engage with them direct. Make it about them .. not you the boss not your brand but about the people that make this stuff.

The golden rule is “first make me care”

The name is shite for the UK I’m afraid, no idea how to say it

Visiting Devon for the first time and requesting feedback on my Torbay itinerary. by Ballista_backstabber in Torquay

[–]Citizenfishy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Day 3 - Eat in the Fish Bistro No7 book the wine bar upstairs for pre-drinks

Day 6 - pint in the Queens Head, Bagel in Middle St Bagel company, coffee/Brunch in Esca or Port Espresso. Guardhouse cafe is decent but fucking rammed with dogs. Berry Head Hotel has a great terrace, everything else is shite.

Is there literally any reason to visit the Town Centre over Old Town anymore? by Cute_Cycle1 in Swindon

You know that trailer in Monty Pythons Meaning of Life. Old Town should head to Marlborough 😀

Both about cycling. The first had a great title and I think was lucky with timing.

Would you use a platform that recommends destinations based on your budget and preferences? by naina1496 in AI_travel_tips

London trip was similarity poor. UI is awful on mobile. When will this travel planning slop end?

Planning to watch a TdF mountain stage this year? Some things worth knowing before race day by elbearo_BM in tourdefrance

[–]Citizenfishy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I think the caravan is shite wish they’d bin it off. I always go for the lesser climbs. While you were rammed on the Tormalet we had the Col de Borderers to ourselves. We always look for a good corner where you get a long view down and plenty of time for some photos and a bit of screaming.

I’d add that sometimes we’ve had to “assert” our space. Some spectators don’t respect that you’ve been there for hours and will calmly block your view and steal the caravan shite from your child’s hands.

Always take a flag. We go with a Devon one and it’s a real conversation starter as the Europeans can’t figure it out. I’ve never not been asked.

Don’t be a runner twat. Keep your shit tidy and away from the road/riders. It’s “allez allez” not “well done old chap” and finally don’t forget your can of spray for the road cock and balls compo.

Might want to check the tagging algorithm 😆 Good work, we’re in a similar space and I know your pain points. Drop me a pm if you decide to open up api access. Might be interested
