Re: Bloody Interesting Article - Genetics and Drugs in Sport
I agree it's an incredibly slippery slope. But I'd been labouring under the thinking that the playing field was a lot more level. It was far simpler when I was able to believe the winning athlete had just trained harder or had been coached better or dug deeper. It bothers me that they may have beate...

Re: Bloody Interesting Article - Genetics and Drugs in Sport
Yes, if it's medically supervised then it's safe, but even if they allow EPO to be in sport, athletes will still die. Why? Because of the desire to win, it doesn't have to come from the athletes themselves, sport in today's world is business, and what drives business? The desire to make money, so h...

Re: Bloody Interesting Article - Genetics and Drugs in Sport
But I don't think the fact someone has worked hard levels the playing field. That's kinda the problem. We like to think it's all about years of training, graft and discipline to reach the top. And this takes people a long way, but perhaps we pay too much homage to the training and graft and overlook...

Re: Johnny Warren Jamberoo Classic - 10 February 2013
From my memories of last year, there's an official stop at Wollongong and that's about it. That said, there's plenty of service stations and the like along the length of the route.

Re: Nite of the Spring Classics - Tour of Flanders
Good call on York Lane. Had a chat to the owner, and he's happy to open up on the night (he'll also broadcast the event through his own channels). Looks like the venue holds about 30 or so, so there should be a bit of atmosphere. So the slightly more refined plan is: Belgian Beer Cafe in Harrington ...

Oooo. Like the idea of the Ronde, though I don't know the whereabouts of much Sydney pave.
Venue ideas? Someone suggested the velo hall, but I don't know it nor what mod cons it has. I was thinking the highly exotic Wests Ashfield might do the job?

Nite of the Spring Classics - Tour of Flanders
Lo All I'm a bit of a fan of the Classics races (MSR, LBL, Roubaix, etc), and this year the Tour of Flanders falls on Easter Sunday (March 31), so we've all got the day off the next day (hurrah). As such I was wondering if anyone wanted to make a night of it? Rough plan would be: (1) Go to Belgian B...

Others more experienced than I might have a different opinion, but I think the key here is communication. If you are dropping off, let someone know so the group doesn't send out a search party 5 mins later. If people want to break off the front for a sprint, make sure the people around you know and ...

Well for the price difference on the Felt you could afford to get a bike fit done (the place in Milsons Pt was great BTW) and still come out ahead.
