Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Victoria Pendleton: Olympic Champion

Not long ago, a thread was started to discuss the hotness of Brit cyclist Victoria Pendleton. Well, it's official. She's both hot and an Olympic gold medal champion. In an article interview, she mentions that her greatest lesson was to not take another's opinion about her as fact. "A person in authority told me that I was wasting my time in the sprint event, due to my build. He was convinced that I wouldn't make it. I proved him wrong when I won my first world title."

Defying the naysayers on the world stage. My favorite success story. Way to go Victoria!

Good to hear, thanks for posting.

I don't know if its weird, but I enjoy watching women do olympic lifts (she does a clean in that short video on the Oakley site). Maybe its because I love both women and olympic lifts.

Since I probably won't find any women tonight, I'm going to work on my lifts instead.
