care to expand on that unusual observation?

Middle aged less than svelte wannabees dressed in bright ill fitting clothing loading up the Audi (other brands of executive mobility aid are available) with expensive kit to enjoy a sports leisure activity, the most important part of which would seem to be the after event drinkies ??

I’m tempted to vote for Dai Greene..

Very much hilldodger

I shall expand when I can be arsed

The cav numbers engaged everytime i try …..

That Clarke bloke is hardly an “athlete”.

Unlike the aforementioned sportsleisure persons who have over expanded arses

None of that resembles mountain biking as I know it.

None of the golfers I know are unfit

Just spoofing the stereotypes 😉

None of that resembles mountain biking as I know it.

And doesn’t represent Golf either for a large number that take it seriously and compete…

As has been said above, you’d be amazed at the parallels that can be drawn between Golf and cycling, I know more middle management types these days that load their company cars up with mountain bikes than golf clubs these days! In fact, Golf is more of a working man’s sport these days, and it’s actually cheaper to buy top notch kit and play a good round than it is to buy the top kit for Mountain Biking!

OK so, how about both pastimes having their roots with people finding new ways to enjoy the countryside and all the best places to “do it” being in Scotland (allegedly)

Agreed, both are great ways to get out in the fresh air. I love both

Hmmm, golf bag on the back of a cargo bike for double win ?? fat tyred obviously to minimise any damage

Yes I suppose you can see the countryside from most golf courses 😉

I can see that it may attract some similar types, but as far as the actual activity, they’re completely different, unless I’ve been doing biking all wrong.

golf is just glorified tiddlywinks with stickbats and little balls.
and a waste of good farmland.

hopefully Cavendish will win it, spoke to Jessica Ennis last week and she thought he would win it even though she wanted Mo to win.

Jess Ennis…hmmmmmm.

Elite golf is summed up with how they measure success: the money list.

Redgrave, **** legend that guy.

Coach: Andy Flower VERY well deserved
Team: England Cricket, again very well deserved
Lifetime acheivement: Steve Redgrave, what more can you say… This is starting to look like a vintage year!

Now lets just hope they get the top 3 right…

Birgit Fischer would kick his ass

word is PERSONALITY! “the shortlist is the result of voting by sports editors. There has never been a woman sports Editor on a British national newspaper. And there’s no one on the horizon” doesn’t that just make it sound biased from the off? I blame the media etc.

I ****ing hate Coldplay…

When you see all the acheivements this year in a nice compact summary, we’ve done OK really? Also in Tri (probs my main sport) that wasn’t mentioned too much tonight.

Drum roll…………

And………

YEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!

Get in !!!

😀

Yes!

Good to see someone with an actual personality get it 🙂

Good lad. As I’ve been saying to everyone – if he couldn’t win it after the year he’s had, he’d never do it.

indeed get in and chapeau all round…he does not even look arrogant and he looks humbled by it all

Good result. Well done cav

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Brilliant!

am pleased that Mo was in 3rd too!

Well done Cav 🙂

Get in!

Crikey, was that humility?
I’m starting to like him.

Proper Woop. A landmark in cycling indeed!!! 🙂

well done ….he has had an amazing year and is one of the biggest names in cycling.

At least he can ride ‘cos he can’t speak.

Woo!
