The Thread about Nothing....

NRS Mens: Grafton finish in town. Big race.

NRS Women's: Race and finish in some back paddock in Ballarat.

I hope both Pensar and VIS are reminding the ladies tonight of what Lama PR has said for a while now. The biggest limiter to women's cycling is the women themselves. But let's not dwell on that. What are they doing to make women's racing bigger and better? NOT [censored] RACING.

Do you see Froomy out the [censored] of a race he has no interest in? No. That [censored] is a closet stomper and wins crits. That's what [censored] champions do*.

*To please the fans at a rigged crit..... a rigged crit that'd bring more attention than 'honest' national level women's racing here in Australia.

If the whole women's peloton are not [censored] at the two 'stars' of today, god help us. Nothing will change.

Has any [censored] hit any fans today?

NO Bowie albums in the 2003 list and 3 in the latest one. Interesting how he goes in and out of fashion.

Can't believe they dropped the Sex Pistols and The Clash from the latest list - British music would not exist in its current form without these two albums.

Here's the full 500. Can someone tell my daggy friends, who think they know about music, that there are no Eagles albums in the top 500? Hee hee.

Apart from a German national from Queensland on an Apollo sponsored Victorian Institute team "winning" the overall series on a Giant? Not a lot. At least they raced today.

Riddle me the politics of the VIS claiming the overall NRS series title when they spent of the season competing against the winner. Pensar should be pretty [censored]. Lucky they kept their team points and locked that one in for the series.

Then again... at the end of the day this isn't making the headline news, so nobody gives a toss. It is tucked away in snippets on Cycling Central. Even then the story is crafted into puff.

Never fails to make me the lols.

This is a common thought I have when evaluating randoms.

Scares the [censored] out of me the math of losing weight. 3500kcal/calories/whateveverthefuckisn'tKj per pound.. 0.453592kgs.

I'm 159/72.5kgs. 5'11. ~2900kal/day. Need to be sub 70 in 4 1/2 weeks. 31 days. 500cal deficit/day *31 days = 15500cals. 4.42kgs. 68kegs. Crikey. I just might have enough time. And thanks to the TAN for being my scratch pad for the math.

so, are you about 72kg? Aren't ya worried about losing too much muscle?
Do you really wanna like Froome or Wiggo? :-) Don't forget, vanity comes first
