Ex-Hasbeen

What are the odds on the Olympics being cancelled this year (I assume there is a betting agency offering this). Things aren't looking good for the Milan-San-Remo in Italy in a couple weeks. Milan is an epicentre of the virus in Italy, and authorities are looking at whether it will be able to go ahead. There are soccer matches in Europe proceeding with no crowd allowed. It could be a bleak year for sports fans.

Welcome aboard Sophie. Great first post. Have you tried Triathlons?

Always have gels in the togs for long swims.

Can't think of too many hills on the track, but Herb did alright. ETA: Hey @Bored@work, that's not your old mate training him there is it?

Never lost a toenail due to rub etc in a race or in training. I always keep them short, and rounded at the edges so they don't rub on shoes or the next toe. I have lost one. Ripped it clean off, but that was due to kicking a rock during a swim section in shallow water. Mongrel to ride & run after it, so i know the pain you go through.

He's an old man now. Even older than me.

I had a major Real Estate agent at Caloundra as a sponsor & a couple times he gave me a unit to stay in so I could: a) Train to my hearts content with a few mates at a great location. Surf & 50m pool, great hinterland riding, and great running around the coastal headlands. and b) Spend an hour each day riding or running with him. It was great fun.

Always keep them cut short (but not too short). Long nails rub on shoes, can cause lifting, and can let shit get under them.

You mean this one.

That may just not come to pass. The classic Ambassador Taxis have been banned in some of the major cities, and others are on the way because they don't meet emission standards. Finally.

Harvey found guilty last night.

And here I was thinking athletes went there because it was so expensive for WADA to get there. ETA: Pretty sure Fuentes had his main office in the Canary Islands too. Maybe just coincidence.

I was going through some old photos last night and came across this. It's the outbound corner of Old Northern Rd & Albany Ck Rd at Albany Creek for those that know the area. There was a 2m wide verge & bike lane for many kms before this point, and the same after it. It is a busy 4 lane road. When I questioned Qld Transport at the time they stated that this is standard design to make it safer for the cars coming in from the side street. Is it any wonder drivers ignore us if the government department charged with creating safe roads actually has this as a standard design for "safety purposes".
