Ahh. My father rode the TdF in 1949 and again in 1950. I am an ex road racer, but not in that league, so I guess I am a bit biased, but... I am more than happy to bow out if this is considered too hard. Richard

In which year did the Tour de France have its slowest average speed over the total route, and what was that speed, to the nearest 1/2kph? Richard

Sitting here reading this and it was only just on the radio. The current record is 276 days, and Mark is scheduled to complete in 195 days. Richard

One was L'Escargot, but no idea which year though. Richard

112 pounds in a hundredweight 1953 Coronation Year

Isn't the first bit The Deerstalker? No idea about the second bit though.

Where was the first English FA Cup final played? The Oval DING, I would ask if you were there, but might want a cache approved one day. Over to you.

Icelandic? Richard

Isn't his father an American Red Indian? No idea what his name is though. Richard

DING, but actually not a myth. Black enamel did actually dry quicker than colours.Prior to moving over to production lines, you could have your Model T in a variety of colours. Also the cost savings for Ford are substantial in only having one colour.

Correct, but why did it only come in black? Because colour hadn't been invented then! Logically it would have also been available in white too then.
