What did he die of?

I love the idea that he did that then went off to fight the war.

No offence to the young these days but you have no flecking idea. The stories my grandparents told me make me realise how lucky I am

Oh how we laugh at you southern softies.

Had to scrape the car at least 4 times so far, and mine is kept at the side of the house.

I’m not sure I understand what you are asking.

I loathe the old fashioned idea of downing tools at some arbitrary age because you’ve somehow earned it.

Somehow, Somehow!

I have earned it, both in NI contributions and paying into my pension at £300 per month, I’m not doing that so I can work for another 20 years after 65.

I just got 4 Hankook Optimo 4s for my Clio, 185/55-15 . Havnt really seen any adverse weather yet, but have high hopes for this winter as have a 25 mile commute on a twisty country road. They are ment to be 4 season so ok for use all year round, only issue was he cst £80 each fitted.

The time trials are all pretty short, on first look the stages look slightly short.

I guess they are expecting people to be taking less EPO this year.

Junkyard you don’t even know what my view is, I would appreciate you cutting out he personal attacks else the reports will be going in and no doubt the banning stick will come out. It’s not compulsory to post every time I do.

I use trainerroad and sufferfest, plus this years tdf and vaulta DVDs.

Twice a week is good.

Isn’t it just a focus on low gi stuff.

I’m sure it was on stw a year ago.

It is a witch hunt in the truest sense of the phrase, regardless of what the real truth is.

Admit you’re guilty and we’ll charge you as guilty.

Claim you’re innocent and we’ll still charge you as guilty.

Those that admit doping get 6 months ban, those that don’t get a lifetime ban. What about all the others who (probably) won the tour on drugs? If you’ve won 5 or less, then you can keep them regardless? Sorry, Lance, you’ve ‘won’ seven and that’s taking a few more than you’re allowed, so we’re going to take them off .

That’s about the size of it. Lance is a scapegoat for the whole sorry business, being top of the tree , número uno he has attracted the most attention.

Clearly the USDA et al in that organisation have an agenda, as do all the folk who grassed. Yes you Hamilton with you million pound book deal.

I’m really embarrassed by some of the posts on here, it’s like Lance has stole your lunch money when you were 5, seriously get a grip.

Hopefully when something really important comes along the stw massif will rally to the same degree, I doubt it mind.

. Lets be honest, if you’re 15-30 at the moment, its absolute open season on you

Eh try 15-65, in what way do you think 31 year old+ is having a free ride?

Wow no scumbag leach on society posts, stw is loosing its touch.

Citizens advice should be able to point ou in the right direction.

I have a great idea, why not take money from all those fat cat a-holes who live in million pound houses and put the money into something, oh let’s call it a decent state pension for everyone who has worked their whole lives.

The time is getting closer to when the people really need to take control of the country.

If its only 1 km then why not just walk it if it’s really bad. Defiantly try a wider tyre, as wide as you can on your bike tyre combo, most racing bike can use a 28mm tyre, than might be fine, you will hardly notice a difference on the road. Deffo get some full length mud guards too.

Amazing cyclist, inspiration to millions
Scapegoat of the century

That’s is soooooo spot on, sums it all up really.

All the bs spouted by most of the stw massif, who if they were in a similar position they would all be EPOd up to the eyeballs. It get so tiresome listening to most of you.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, never been so apt than now. The Robert Millar piece about it so spot on.

Testosterone wasn’t performance enhancing, he was just struggling with his sexuality at the time. :oops:

I think KCR is what we call in Scotland a numpty.

Robert Millar? Another convicted doper, so I’m sure he had an accurate view from inside.

WTF are you on about.

Eh! An answer to what? You are making alligations that Chris Boardman doped, I’m just point out that you probably shouldn’t.

Well given the current climate why even say something like that unless you are mischief making.

Nice wee lawsuit coming Al’s way. I would be careful if I was you.

Seriously get out now, don’t let them take you alive.

I heard it was all Lance Armstrongs fault.

All results from these years should go to Graeme Obree, Obree 10 times tdf winner. :D

Some people just havnt come to terms with the fact 29ers are better. :lol:

Glenep forgive me not reading every one of the 52 pages of posts, you might understand why, appologies if I caused you any distress.

He has singlehandedly invalidated 7 years of TdF history, and tainted the sport forever.

Now that has to be a joke, you will be telling me that LA is responsible for global warming and re runs of top gear on dave too.

Ask yourself if LA was not there would there still have been doping. It’s hardly all his fault.

If you havnt seen closer to the edge, you should cracking film.

Not sure if I have said this yet, but I am really depressed by this whole thing.

SSSI destroyed, locals railroaded, the police in the payrol of Trump, the government acting like he is God.

I don’t understand why more powerful journalists were not involved with more money and clout that wouldn’t get pushed about by Trump. Where is Murdoch when you need him…

cynic-

I think most posts on this thread need an “IMO” suffix.

I would have thought it would be obvious that post on an Internet forum were people opinions.

I’m sure it’s fireproof for that reason, lols.

Is there anyone who is local to this, ie lives in Aberdeen, who love to know what the locals actually though of him, the project and the people he was trying to clear from their homes.

He has the kind of face you just wouldn’t tire of punching.

Again I am soo embarressed by the police and their handling of it, actually makes me sad. I hope the officers involved hang their heads in shame.

Agree with jota, I find the guys in my club very chatty and friendly. The thing is wee rarely stop, if we do a bigger club ride, say 80+ then there might be an organised coffee stop. But the smaller rides 50 or so are non stop.

As for stopping on hill I don’t know any proper road rider who would even want to admit to that. The only time I have ever stopped on a climb is when my chain has come off, and I am no racing snake.

Anyone who finds roadies miserable should look to themselves first!

1 proviso on the miserable aspect, when you are riding for 3 hrs with your heart rate in the 90% zone then chatting like a school girl with a new boyfriend isn’t really on the agenda, when you are on the trails, you heart rate goes up and down much more than when road riding, makes it easier to chat when heart rate is lower.

Agreed, the Scottish government are a joke. They fell for his BS about jobs and increased revenue, such a political bit of showboating by Salmond, that and the forth bridge joke really turn me off him and the snp. Luckily I can vote for independence then vote the snp out of office, which is what I will do and I think it’s what will happen if we get it. A bit like having Churchill during the war then getting shot of him straight after.

Spoon shimano do a wide fit.

Trumph didnt even know if the course was on the east or west coast, Letterman made him look like a tube.

What’s wrong with glue?

Watching and am in no way surprised by him.

The Grampian police should hang their heads in shame, I am discussed with their handling of it. Really making me angry watching this. Trumph is such a dick.

What he said ^

I thought most would do either, and I know what you mean by bashing your shin, bloody sore!
