It usually takes the FC team a short while to profile the bandwidth correctly.

Also , yu'll probably notice during the last 10 men the quality reduces as they spread their available bandwidth across more users.

Some camera phone pics from my week in France:

Looking towards chatel:

Playing about on the blue run next to the French national track:

Me in Switzerland:

Pic of the bikes that got quite a few looks:

Broken list:

1 x Maxxis Super Tacky - after 1 day
1 x chain
1 Hope Headset
2 x Spokes
1 x Warped Hope vented disc :eek:

2 x Boiled Avid Elixers
2 x Intense Edge tyres
1 x Thumb
1 x RS Vivid Coil

I think I did most of Supercow's to do list plus a couple more. Not sure which was my favourite track as they were all so awesome.

PS, Cheers Supercow
