Watching it now - am not really into celebrities but, as there's cycling involved thought it worth watching.

The 3 atheletes and Jodie Kidd will have fun, I think the others were thrown in to boost ratings!

The highlight for me has to be Louie sliding down the pole in the cross country gig. The lowlights, Jodie tearing a ligament and Louie throwing down his bike.

Interesting!

Pretty poor TV.

Rob Hayles, not sure if he's a TV man...

No, obviously not, but I didn't expect it to be worse than 'The Coach'...

Guessing here; could they be the mic relay boxes usually worn around the back of the waist on reality shows?

Not watched it yet but bumped into a few of this lot on the White Rose Classic sportive back in the summer. I think it was one of their warm-up events so should feature on the show at some point.

I know it's for a wider audience but would have been good to see their FTP numbers.

I did the Bostin Peaks and bumped into Amy Williams and Louie Spence.

Apparently I'm on it, but as I'm away in Europe for a couple of days I'll have to catch it when I return....

My lad dared me to get a selfie with Louie.....he's a bit of a nutter, but a nice chap to talk to....



Amy was equally lovely to talk to....and even nicer to follow, if you know what I mean....

Watched some of it last night, with the wife, thought it wasn't too bad. It felt good to be explaining to her what some of it was about, she really doesn't get cycling and normally if I try and tell about a long ride she glazes over instantly.

Heard Goughie talking about it on the radio in the summer; back then he sounded like he rode quite a bit but the show seems to be saying he was fairly new to it. That Anjelica, can she really expect to go from nothing to the Etape in 8 weeks? They should have put someone else of that standard in as well, it wouldn't have been so hard for her if she had had someone to share the experience with.

I should think she could if she put her mind to it, but she'll probably bin it on a downhill.

Should have got some other people and got them to do something proper, like Marmotte.
