Absolute joke that Tadej Pogacar has (for the second year running) not been nominated in the Overseas category. Absolutely dominated cycling over the last 2 years.
Went along to the Senior Open at Sunningdale on Saturday. Most enjoyable time. Wrote a few words on reminiscing and sports nostalgia that might interest

We've just watched Magpie Murders and the Moonflower Murders. Really enjoyed the concept of the actual plots being linked into the respective books. Worked very well.

Chilworth
East Horton (Greenwood)
Bramshaw (Forest)

Dibden
Ampfield
Cams Hall
