    Was out for a quiet spin this morning when this guy shot past me on a climb. Ok so I'm not the best climber, but on the next rise, same guy passes me again.
    When he passed me on the third climb, without me remembering passing him out, I thought what a tosser! Is he taking the piss or what?

    I feel as though I've really achieved something today. I figured out that the bottle sterilization thingy for the baby takes 3 x 750ml and 1 x 500ml sized of my drinks bottles for the bike. Bye bye to that scummy stuff at the bottom and in the lids! :D

    Lads ye were probably all out for a spin but did any one hear the chap on with Marian Finucane on rte 1 radio this morning - i didnt catch his name or the full interview, but i think he is involved with Kilkenny hurling - (i think) he was arguing along the lines that GAA players should not be subject to dope testing as they are amateur and should their sample return a non-negative finding their job/careers could be needlessly affected by this. Football manager Roddy Collins was also on and mentioned that one of his players at a pervious club had failed a test due to an energy/recovery product that had a trace of something banned on it - didn't hear enough of Roddy to tell if he was in agreement with the other chap or not. There was another girl on - again i am not sure who she is, but she made a good point that for some jobs you might be tested as part of your medical to get the job - this point would go against the guys argument in my opinion.

    But It was an interesting POV especially for cycling and more so Irish cycling where amateurism and professionalism regularly meet in competition domestically -

    I think the rte player will post a pod cast of the show but cant seem to find it yet to hear the full jist of what the guy had to say

    Lads, bit concerned about taking my Trek 1.1 to college. Is there a cheap, say 250-300 quid bike that would be worth getting? Don't mind if it's a fixie. Anything bar Dual Suspension would be grand enough for me.

    Here's a list of 80 of them, knock yerself out.

    It's just lazy casting. They should have gone to Amiens St for realism.

    Yes correct - here it is:

    forward to 44:24

    I think he is a bit washy on his reasons for this opinion but overall seems to be coming down on the side of a player taking something recreational rather than PE and how it will affect his life as well as his paying career

    Some interesting quotes form it include:

    "Why are we doing it (testing) at all? There have been no positive tests..."

    and

    "Our athletes are over tested"

    Speaking as a complete cycling Naif and only knowing the guys name from the generally affectionate mentions of him around here (Not party bus affectionate...) it seems like a nice piece.

    I met him after a flight back from Donegal once and he is most definitely an extremely nice guy... then again, everyone from Donegal is.

    OK, let me explain - there was so much consternation over the naming of this thread that some posters decided to establish a "rival" off-topic thread. I decided to change the names around a bit and no-one even noticed for two days ...

    We've simply changed them back now.

    I'm changing bike clubs at the moment and it'll probably be a while before I get kit from the club I'm moving to. My wife is already a member there though and offered that if I needed club kit I could borrow hers as it'll likely fit me. She pointed out that I'd then be able to tell people that I wear women's clothing when heading out with the lads at the weekend. I laughed. Until my mascara ran.
