On Sunday, I was stood on a mountain waiting for a bike race.
That bike race was stage 15 of the Tour de France and the route took in the little-known climb of the Pic de Nore.

Most are simply suffering, having been dropped from a bigger group.

To give the council their due the consultations were torrid affairs. Part of me thinks that they might have been a little less, had they done a...
Or - for the more far-out - a lizard warning (beware reptilian overlords)?
My family have 3 See.Sense Aces....
