Tiffin has been a bit of a damp squib today, as no-one was willing to leave the office to get caked up and we instead had to rely on Zipvit strawberry energy bars; not bad at all, but not tiffin. Anyway they've certainly perked us up enough to fire up the road.cc randomiser, and the names punched in binary on the ticker tape today are...
sfisher0, jak001 and jova54!
Looks like it was favouring the 'short letter sequence followed by some numbers' usernames today but it's a fickle beast, so if you didn't snap up a prize this time round you've every chance when we run our next grab, which will be soon! Stay tuned...
UPDATE: bizzarrely enough, the three people out of the hat were the first three people that entered. The odds of us picking these three out of the 350 peeps that entered are around 40 million to 1, so it's pretty weird. It is, of course, the same odds as picking any other combination of three entrants. That's random for you. The numbers the randomiser actually picked are 69, 144 and 156 as the comments are picked in order of user ID, not of posting time. Which kind of makes it even more weird. Or maybe less weird. We can't decide.
-------------------------------------------------------
Ah, le Tour. All over for another year, and we can all get on with our lives. In road.cc's case that'll be sorting out the Fantasy Vuelta game, we've had great fun playing the Tour de France one. Still, it'd be nice to carry round a little memento to remind you of all those incident packed days of the 2010 Tour, no? And we've got just the thing: jersey themed Cateye computers!
That's right, Cateye have taken their excellent Strada Wireless unit and give it a summer makeover. Whether you're a GC man, a sprinter or a mountain specialist you should find one to suit you. We've got one of each to give away courtesy of the nice chaps at Zyro, and it's as easy as ever to enter: all you have to do is comment below to be in the hat, Schwag Grab Rules apply of course. We'll make the draw on Wednesday 28th July at Tiffin or thereabouts. Good luck! If you don't luck out in the compo then the special edition computers are available from all Cateye retailers at £49.99, the same price as the standard Strada Wireless.
Note to Facebookers: if you're reading this on Facebook you need to comment on road.cc. Okay?

put me in please
cateye for me please
I don't do enough over winter to truly be a good sprinter,
one solid sprint and my legs start to splinter.
When I see a mountain it's not my lungs but me legs that I'm doubting, it's not even the first 'K' but I'm already counting.
The colour yellow means a lot to each different fellow, unfortunately I'm more Butch Cassidy's 'Yella' than Bert Contador's yellow...
But give me a Schwag to put in my bag and at least I'll know wherever I go, the well meant effort that it has been counting.
Ta very much.
This time it's gonna be me!
oooh yes please
Yes Please
oooh yes please
If I win I'd love the Kom one, thankyou very much ya
Mwah ha ha...

polka dot Strada is as close as I will get to ever claiming KOM!
It's got to be the KOM version, super Gucci
As this is tyhe closest I will ever get to ride the tdf, please put me in with a chance
Meh.
Yes please!!
Having problems with my Garmin and not impressed with their customer service so one of these would be a ideal.
Just what I need on my new steed.
As I am perpetually losing my bike computers, that yellow one would be very useful. Purely because it's yellow. Any inference that I have ever won any kind of race is completely incorrect!
: P
Yes please. Polka Dot...it'll be as close as I get
Chuck my name in the chapeau, s'il vous plaît
just pop one in a jiffy bag and be done with it
Yes please!
