Welcome to English roads...olympic RR
Starved of investment by councils who spend too much of their revenue on the
exaggerated pensions of their retirees English roads are in a dire state. The Olympic Road Race parcours is probably better ridden on a mountain bike. http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/...ad-race-course "At the top the new tarmac runs out, giving way to a surface that’s heavy and very bumpy, even by the low standards of British roads. It’s so jarring that just taking a drink is stressful and that’s without being in a tightly packed bunch. Wüst isn’t impressed: “It’s ****,” he summarises, very concisely." Should be enormously entertaining to watch. I don't think Cav is quite the big favourite the media here are building him up to be, with no race radios some sneaky continental type could get away and stay away. -- |

Ah yes, the Olympic Follies are here again, replete with all the Fun of The Fair: Dancing Underwater, Skateboarders, Bowls Players and a couple of thousand hookers roaming the streets and anxious to relieve any horny spectator of his (or her for that matter) Roubles for a dubious few minutes of pleasure in a back-alley/hotel/parked-car/etc. and a fair chance of getting a dose of Clap (or worse). Davey's also getting reports that thousands of Romanian citizens, spitefully called Gypsies when they actually prefer Roma, will be on hand to demonstrate their traditional way of life, minus of course the knife sharpening and clothes-peg vending enterprises since they couldn't get a license to use the Games Logo on their wagons. But reports coming in indicate that the Follies are not quite ready yet and some nasty newspapers, Republican ownned, not Monarchist, are beginning to ask whether the current edition of the Follies will be the best Games Ever, or merely the Biggest **** Up since Arnhem -- Davey Crockett Flying the Flag of the English.

I bet that went down ever so well at gulag central. -- |

I ride these ****ing roads every week when I'm in the UK, on some sections getting the bottle back into it's cage is an art in itself.

The MTB course being 'third world' in that they didn't want to devote too much effort to it...it's only cycling after all. The sporting powers that be in the UK still don't 'get' cycling at all. -- |
