Ah, summer in London. Quite a change from Del Mar. But what action caused the bad karama behind the tube strike? Yes that's police tape in the photo accross the front of the entrance to the london underground aka "the tube" of mind the gap fame.

On a somber note, it seems that yet another doping scandal is associated with the Tour de France this year as Lance tries to set the record. Pity that cloud hangs over what is shaping up to be an epic tour. I'm certain the rain from that cloud won't dampen the spirits of those of us viewing the tour up close and personal.

If you have a broadband connection and want to see the original (medium resolution) photos I'm taking, have a look here.
