The bloke at the Hood Inn in Kilve is a star. We were touring through that area last year and he opened up on a Monday afternoon just to serve us ice cream and beer. 🙂
My contention is that those mental states may be of no interest to me
You are correct. I was was simplifying for the sake of argument. But it is interesting that you seem not to care what other people think - or is it just the people that have a different opinion to you?
How far do you take 'not caring'? Are you more nihilist or sociopath?
And FWIW I think that ultimately competition [i]does[/i] define sport. But since you don't care what I think or what I call it...
[i] Nihilists! **** me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.[/i]
But it is interesting that you seem not to care what other people think
essentially, what other people think is a private matter, and calls for fruitless speculation. It's only what they [b]do[/b] that matters, and in the case of biking that's "not a lot". If I had no interest at all in other people's thoughts I'd not be posting on here trying to influence them...
And FWIW I think that ultimately competition does define sport.
OK, I'm doing something else. FWIW I think competition is the worst part of sport as it puts many off from ever taking part
Samuri I think you can remove the British from your statement 😉
Funnily enough I've noticed that as more poeple MTB the less people say hi on the trails, conversely it appears like more roadies say hi to MTB'ers now.
Was up on the SDW yesterday and saw Lewes road club who were friendly whilst the trail riders (dunno what trail ride) were less so.
Have faith Old Git we rode Cut Gate yesterday and as we descended from top of the trail a red sock opened the gate for us all and waited patiently for all 14 riders to go through, naturally we thanked him and carried on.
Rare event but hey made me smile.
One guy later on told a friend he looked comparatively clean so naturally I told him he didn't scrub up to bad either! 😀
All healthy banter and top riding to boot if a little boggy in parts!
