In this film we follow Jim Topliss through his long and hard winter of training. Winter is a stiff time for any athlete, but with discipline Jim hopes to be one step closer to his idols. With other riders hot on his heels, he hopes to compete in the 2015 Tour de France, if it doesn't clash with Farmer John's that is. A great insight to the training of a true Lettuce. Thanks to all the sponsorz. This is great banter.

 Just a moment of respect for Martyn Ashton who pioneered this completely rediculous... Erm... Thing....

 No disrespect intended to the great Martyn Ashton, but he pioneered doing trials on a road bike, these are just a bunch of lads riding cyclocross on... what looks like cyclocross bikes with a silly story added, all pretty standard and has been around for donkey's years.

 Cyclocross has been around for years dude. Though it is absolutely terrifying - CX bikes really aren't made for riding off road, yet they do anyway.

You need to ride the 3 Peaks CX, then you'll realise what those bikes can handle !!

 I have a CX bike, mostly used for road! I'm aware of what they can handle, I just still don't get it, haha.

 i have done some offroading on my road bike. it is certainly different. fun, maybe not when the posture and geo are all wrong and the tyres have no grip. oh, and a radially spoked wheel to make sure it stays perfectly true... but all in all it was terrifying fun

 Oh dear. I actually wish I didn't post my opinion. I apologise I didn't like it. You are correct, I do not have any better on my profile.
