MTber?

Not with a average speed at the three distances (10, 25 and 50 miles for you baggy trousered ones) of 23.506 mph.

Its probably fair to say I only read it at London cycle sport and passed it on.


Whilst we are on the subject of local newspaper stories here is another not so exciting one:
Addiscombe in the news

If you've got a local bike club no matter how informal its probably worth writing a short feature for your local copy hungry newspaper every now and again just to keep cycling in the public eye.

Holy Sh!t man,

I live in bloody Waltham Forest, if there's some nutter going round shooting cyclists I think we should warn people.

ice skating and metal bars spring to mind?

Sorry Ayatollah its 'Tonya' Harding.

Arnold to answer your question Tonya Harding was a US ice skater who got someone to try and break the legs of her major rival Nancy Kerrigan.

This was shortly before the trials for the US Olympic team prior to the 1994 winter Olympics. Thus keeping her out through injury and allowing Harding to compete in the team.

Theres sportsmanship for you!!

Dan... to answer your question... "why" was what Nancy was crying after the attack when they were taking her to the hospital... it was all she could say at the time.

hence the quotes.

night Anne, not staying up to watch the Grand Prix then?
This really is a bit scary, isn't it? Clearly a 'hit' of some kind. Judging by 'loud bang' and 'pellets' a small-guage shotgun was used point blank - could've been much, much worse...

Was there a big race she was going to compete in soon?
