You know you missed it while I was away!

Queen Victoria and her helmet;

Sir Chris (Scary thighs just out of shot!)

And, to keep vaguely up to date and on topic….Jenson Button!

For those who may not have seen this thread before, it's simple. It's all about a celebration of all that is both Athletic AND aesthetic. So, that means none of your usual Maxim/FHM type smut, but real pics of real sportspeople! It's also always been open to chaps, ladies and ladies who like ladies and chaps who like chaps! So, keep 'em clean, keep 'em real sports folk and let's see what's out there!

Oh, and if you can please make sure you name the person and sport as well, that'd be marvellous!

Remember folks, keep it clean.

Just a nice smile.

Gabriala Sabatini by the way.

Top US Motorist Danica Patrick

Is that actually Jensen's bike ? The saddle appears to be 6" too high…

[edit] I like the enigmatic look on Danica's face – or is she saying "Look, my bra is too tight" ?

fancy a bit of rough and tumble.

Barb Howe

Carolina Klüft

Allyson Felix, an American runner. What a lovely face.

Tracker, Good photo of Ms. Sabatini! She's not been in the news much (that I have seen in any case).

Anyway, to keep it topical, I give you the awesome Chrissie Wellington, current Kona women's Ironman champion:

I am sure she has been on here before but just in case Allison Stokke

Muddbunnies Riding Club is a not for profit society, that helps to promote women in the sport of mountain biking. Our goal is to see more women safely enjoying this wonderfully addictive sport. The club is run by a team of dedicated volunteers who thrive on the helping each other meet and exceed their own expectations on and off the bike.

Good work, folks.

Alison Stokke… win!
