Haha! 'StridaLT and counting' Love it!

Snafu21 was born in 1878 and is allegedly a secret love-child of James Starley, the father of British cycling. She is currently busy preparing lessons on Charles Dickens for some rather bemused students

Wow! I thought I was low at 48bpm. Are you sure you're alive???



You must have a low max HR as well?
