    Alfonsina Strada,the only Women to ride a GT

    So let me get this straight. The way I read your post, is if you were a woman in 1924, and assumably without the aid of PED's, and you happened to love riding a bike, fast...then you must've been a hermaphrodite? Are you kidding me? The repsonses to this thread make me sorry I stepped back...

    Floyd to pay back Floyd fairness fund

    Huh. I hope it's not a PR stunt. It's one thing to apologize, which in itself is good, but doing what is in within one's power to "make it right" is an altogether deeper level of character, humility, and strength. Some would only say, "gee I'm really sorry" and run away.

    Bernard Kohl - "Not possible..."

    That right there was funny, and shouldn't go unnoticed. :)

    Describe the poster above you

    ^^^^ Started a really fun thread that may unfortunately see little action because 9/10ths of the members here are too busy squabbling over in the doping forum. Edit to add: Tubular ^ sneaks in with posts before I can hit the submit button. And also has my long lost derailleur pictured in...

    Your favourite comedians

    Maz Jobrani and company, in the "Axis of Evil Comedy Tour" as told by Middle Eastern Americans. Maz in this routine, has been the only comedian in many years to make me fall off my couch laughing. Nearly pee'd my pants. Effing hilarious. "But I said ha ha...." If anyone can find...

    Bronzini and Olivarri

    Oh how this thread pertains to my interests. :D Did the women in the 80's dope to the effing gills with anabolics? Yes. I was there. I know. Do some women naturally develop naturally gigantic muscles without anabolics? Yes. I was there. I know. That's all I'll say. :)

    At what point do you walk away?

    First, it's always been my view that cycling is the most beautiful sport in the world. But I stopped "following" when I discovered as a youngster that I would have to take the same poison; drink the same Kool Aide as the rest of the big dogs in order to beat them. Cyclists are a selfish...

    Winter Wear for doggies

    Thanks 44. I love a good hound too! But my dog isn't a hound, she's a Pit Bull (although I've been told by two Staffordshire Terrier experts that she is actually a Staffordshire Terrier...but I still call her a Pit Bull just because it sounds meaner...). Where I live, a "sled dog"...

    Winter Wear for doggies

    Winter will soon be here in the northern hemisphere. And as it gives me cold toes, it makes my dog's toes cold too. I'm hoping someone here has some knowledge of good resources to find quality winter clothes for dogs. My dog has very short hair, and even less hair on her feet. I like to...

    Trying to reason in the Magpie season

    This thread continues to deliver in funny. :) A week or so ago I was riding up about 15 miles from home. Cruising down a hill I nearly plowed into two loose, enormous mules that came crashing out of the woods...followed shortly thereafter by a hungry mountain lion in pursuit. Talk about a...

    Confidentiality/cover-up confirmed?

    Bingo. I've pretty much had it with pro cycling.

    The Seinfeld thread

    I must be the only person on the planet that didn't like Seinfeld. There wasn't one character that didn't annoy the hell out of me. Maybe that's the point of the show? OK the Soup Nazi episode , and Elaine's dancing episode, were funny as all get out. :) Frazier, however I thought was...

    Tell us about your training week from Hell..

    I've got a friend from High school who is at Kona now. His wife and children, and the rest of us have been very good at keeping up with his training on Facebook. I'm happy to report that yup, it's all going to plan. I do chair calisthenics while reading his training reports in front of the...

    Confidentiality/cover-up confirmed?

    Because cycling is not big news in America. I can count on one hand, out of mid double-digit numbers of people that I work with daily, the number of workmates who knew "how the TdF worked" before I came on board. Out of hundreds, I could count on maybe two hands the number of those that actually...
