    Rio Olympics 2016

    Feel a little embarrassed about my initial opinions. Rio pulled it off. Brazil's biggest threat was some drunk US swimmers.. The closing ceremonies, more specific the dancers were off the hook outstanding. Bodies of beauty and grace.

    Re: Re: yes Yes sir. I wonder if all the big gas guzzling economies will have squat to say to Putin as he annexed land that doesn't belong to him. Germany says little as she use gas to heat homes and run enormous machines. The dependency on Russian petroleum products is probably troubling on...

    The Olympic Road Race 2016. Rio de Janeiro. 253km

    The race was excellent. I have ridden roads similar to this with the addition of some small amounts of running water on the road. My azz was puckered most of the time. Coming in and out of shadowed and shaded corners is really hard. Racing in a tropical terrarium proved too hard for those laying...
