R.i.p ...........

Thank you Gabor Gabor ,, thank you for filming these great adventures, and sharing them . I know its a lot of work , especially placing the camera and redoing small portions of the climb to make a really super film of the ascent. It has been many years since I was able to travel like that...

Ok I see , just recalling the original version : Talking while riding with the team . Talking while riding except no talking up a hill. No talking and definitely no talking while on a climb. Not willing to stop to give directions to lost motorists that try too flag you down. And last...

what the %^($#^*(*) is zone 3 and zone 5 ....... crap, stop the computer lingo

Agreed , this is our problem exactly we could easily be closer to the medal times , but we need too get to Olympic sized ice . period . ( OR WIN THE LOTERY SO WE CAN QUIT OUR JOBS AND MOVE THERE AND TRAIN . second period) Sorry , the last part in brackets is for those that have jobs to quit...

Why is it interesting to see how much the Dutch invested in speed skating for the same period ? Is the investment amount some sort of barometer that says it all?

Yes , I can think of one sport , that led too several sports . The Canadians sold Samboni ice machines to the Chinese , and showed them how to make good ice . The rest is History , figure skaters and speed skaters appeared to winning form like out of nowhere in a short period . Good...

I remember those water bottles. However the guy in the pictures is not a Fred . He doesn't fit the criteria , along with no beard , no mirrors , and especially no racing bike . He is not pretending to be something he is not . He is simply a guy riding a bike from point A to B. He will not...

ok thumbs up , I'll drink to that . lol :cool: Old guys rock . :D

Well I kindof disagree with this . The old gentleman and the commuters that go out in all sorts of weather , vs./ we x racers and racers of today , are not posers because we elect to not travel around the world , or push our bike across a desert , just to show it can be done. We aren't...

Ditto Ditto that , he is not a Fred , he is an elderly gentleman enjoying his ride and living his life the way HE is capable of whether by choice or by chance or fate. Thumbs up to him . wishing him many happy miles without flats . :D

Ditto to that , Not all Freds are Freds in the term modern cyclists jargon identifies Freds . Some of us X racers still have all our old kits and we like to use them because we still can. Having said that , some of us also had hard times in areas of employment that left us saying wtf a lot ...

OK so listen up ! If we split up we can *Head Em off AT DA PASS *

warming up Its warming up from that polar vortex we have been blessed with lately . From minus 39degrees C with the windchill factor to a quite reasonable minus 10 to 15 degrees C. Woot Woot . :D
