This is our first attempt at one of those live update things like the ones that we've seen on other, better websites. We've forgotten our USB cable, so we're going to have to actually write without uploading any photographs. We're sure we used to do updates that weren't just sarcastic comments about images, so hopefully we'll be able to manage.

This is what happens when we get free internet access and no quality control other than Cycling Weekly's correspondent occasionally looking over our shoulder.

Stay tuned for more updates! We think we might have to click "edit" to make it do it or something, but we'll totally work it out, maybe.
