Had to take shelter in a tunnel on the way to work today when the heaven's suddenly opened. Luckily I had my iphone so took the opportunity to watch the Brownlee Bros dominate the Triathlon. Then noticed my new tyre was quite topical before spending the afternoon working/watching the crazy excitement going on in the Velodrome. Will 50 be too old to make Team GB for Rio?
Is the Velodrome where they had a bike race between two men. They were pushed at the start. I've never seen that before. It reminded me of a very slow Austin Powersesque race. It was very strange. What's the name of that competition?
@dmortega all the indoor cycling was held in the Velodrome, including the Keirin where the cyclists have to follow a guy on a moped for 6 laps first. Strange sport, but very, very exciting
Nice one for today - fab cycling! @fueast I'm so Olympic feverish, I've been trying to persuade Dave we need to go to Rio! And now I'm thinking about the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow ...
no fun peddling in the rain...brakes don't work - glad you found a tunnel to shelter in and I hope the cars empty the sidewalks on you going by.thats no fun either! lol - nice cropping of your front tire!
Wicked!! Been wondering what I can do for 2016. Some of the horse riders are proper old - don't much like horses though. I did briefly think that if I raise my saddle a bit I might be able to go all out in the cycling - then the G&T wore off and reality dawned. I'm poised and ready just as soon as they bring in the 'forward roll' category in the gymnastics though....
