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

I agree munchie, what a load of crap that study was.

"But researcher William Farthing said women prefer high-status males to risk-takers"

You can be both right?

When winter is in full swing in our state,I would recommend the full length leg cover plus the shoe cover to protect your toes from frozen.

Sustagen is triffic. The Dutch Chocolate is an acquired taste, very rich. Vanilla is a bit weak to taste.

Up and go banana is great too, coz you can enjoy it over and over again for about an hour or so going down it tastes like a strong Banana Moove or Big M.

Yeah it's a creepy place. I took a wrong turn out of Road Racing and ended up lost in a maze of fact and counterfact. It seems the only way out is to post your own fact. I came across a group of guys that had been stuck in there since 1997.

Indeed.....I'm expecting to stumble across a Japanese soldier who doesn't know WWII is over yet.

Maybe it was the reaction between the mineral water and the chocolate Quick you eat when you rise Aus!!??

My brother had a Litespeed with carbon stays and full Campy. I should have whacked it into my container before I moved.

While we're on the subject of bad things...

After the diabolical Heinz Tom Yum the other night I took life in my own hands and tried Heinz Thai Green Curry. Despite looking like gruel and smelling like Laksa it wasn't too bad. I added chicken, chilli and soy sauce and I couldn't tell the difference between it and a bad Laksa.

I can't wait until I try the Heinz Laksa next week. No doubt it will smell like rubber and taste like minestrone.
