Default Re: New to cycling

changing the topic....

i don't really follow the sport of cycling, but know a few of the big names like most people do. i've never watched much of the cycling events that we get on FTA here in Adelaide (tour down under, tour de france) due to work, timezones, other commitments etc but have found myself watching the last couple of stages over the weekend (heading in to night shift, so staying up late...)

froome certainly caught them all napping a couple of nights ago, and hows his downhill style! i've seen them go the full tuck before, sitting on the top tube, but to stay there and pedal... it just looked slightly comical. mind you he was topping 90km/h or close to, so it was pretty effective.

then last night, hows the conditions at the end of the stage. absolutely bucketing down with reasonable sized hail as well. thats earning your money!
