  1. Sticky Thread Go to first new post Sticky: The OFFICIAL Clydesdale/Athena Triathlon Thread

    Hey all! I spoke with Tom today, and he gave me permission to give this a go. Of my posts on this forum, none seem to elicit more attention than the triathlon/triathlete posts. So, we're going to do a sticky thread in the forum, and if it takes off, we'll get a little sub-forum of our own! ...

  5. Sticky Thread Sticky: Why Call us Clydesdales and Athena's?

    Why a Clydesdale? The term actually comes from the Triathlon World, for a male athlete over 200 pounds and/or over 6 feet tall. This was never a derogatory term, though. The Clydesdale is a massive and powerful charger, bred for battle originally; not hauling around a beer wagon, to carry an...

    Since so many of our needs are specialized in nature, it makes sense for us to have a specific "For Trade" thread. Do not post For Sale in this thread, or it will be deleted and if it happens too often, the thread will go away. All trade details are to be done in PM. Post what you have available...

    I read posts where some riders say,"I weigh 210 so I don't climb". Plenty of similar comments, not just here but most places in the forum. So I'm just wondering how much we weigh? I can understand a 300 lb person not liking to climb but at 230-235 myself, it aint all that bad.:D 6'1 230-235
