Please help with translation!

Vincent Kluwe

Could somebody please explain to a daft mongolian as me, what exactly is 1. a Century race and 2. a Granfondo?

I've rummaged all online and offline dictionaries I could find without any result. Could someone help?

If you are willing to help, please do so with friendly, calm and patient words, not to frighten me as a harmless foreigner off, will you?

Talking about the makers of "professionally" made and expensively sold dictionaries: I am living in Berlin, which is only near the outer mongolian border. But how daft must these at least inner, if not center mongolians be not to give translations for common terms as granfondo or century? I mean, these terms are used worldwide a million of times and in Italy even exists a major magazine with that TITLE!

Ok, trying to explain that idiocy myself. As a professional author and little wood-and-meadows-PHD it downed to me over the years, that the trade, which is meant to be THE pool of international intelligentsia, publishing books that is, is in reality a pool of all the greatest dimwits of the world. But still, we are talking about common terms ...

Hi Vinny,

I beleive a Century Race is a 100 mile race. I'm as daft as you though, concerning a Granfondo.
