What's with all the references to "41"?

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

If you hover the links in the forums, you see 41 in the "road cycling" subforums.
As you see 33 in the "road racing" subforums.

Pretty inventive, really... I had no clue until this afternoon.

41 is the identifier of the forum in the MySQL database.

Is it me, or is it just too ironic that the Clydesdales forum is "the 248"?

ordinarily i would expect a moderator to chime in on a basic question like this, but i think they have completely abandoned the "41"

The mods have already locked so many thread (and a dozen to come tonight) that they must be sick of it at the moment.

ignore all the people referring to "41" and "33". They are just poseurs.

You guys are no fun. You're supposed to say something like, "I was 41..... five years ago."

In the hope that this forum can be salvaged, 41 is planned to be the new minimum mental age required to post here.

There will be a test coming soon.

Unfortunately, it's the same test they use to decide if you need Flomax, or not. I don't think you can study for it. They've been using it in the 220 for years now.
