  2. Psyllium Husk Orange Flavour. Orange? WHERE IS THE ORRRANNGE. Jesus it tastes like [censored].

    I reckon I'm [censored] more volume than I'm eating. Drinking lots. Still getting in solid sessions on the bike and recovering ok. All on track. I'll get on the scales only once a week.

    I google translated it from polish and ROT 13. The polish - English translation made more sense

    Solid sessions on the bike? What about solid sessions in the dunny?

    You won't be welcomed into the Eating Disorders club with that sort of attitude. Have I taught you noting, Grasshopper?! Ya gotta be weighing yaself at least 3 times a day before we'll even talk to ya.

    You might've read or heard about pros doing this to make themselves as light as possible on race day: using laxatives and enemas, obviously to reduce weight, then only eating pure carbs (or even IV-ing carbs) with electrolytes, without and 'unnecessary' stuff like protein, fat or too much salt.

  6. Morning news round up....

    The Swiss Miss becomes the Swiss Fist.
    Hyjjaaddaarrrllll is a cheating doper... but it was "ages ago so it is ok".
    An Aussie sheep gets a ride in a Tarago in the middle east and they're calling it cruelty.

    and speaking of forced admissions... what ever happened to Stuart O'Grady?

    Nicely done.

  8. 9am news report.....

    CA owe SBS $150k. How the [censored] does that work? CA are effectively the content providers, no? Shouldn't SBS be paying THEM? Is our sport that bloody obscure that CA have to PAY to have the [censored] shown? $150k is a lot of hair gel for Tommo, plugs for Macca, and [censored] purple jackets for the Tan man.

    Yep, straight out of a late 80s warehouse dance party. Worn with an "Acieeed" t-shirt

  11. I wonder is rider #15 from the USADA report is in fact Ryder and not Horner?

    Queue Jono posting an epic gunt shot and questioning the alien!

  16. Drapac on SwiftCarbon. Never heard of them to be honest. Anyone? anyone? Still an industry that confuses me. Why wouldn't Giant be tossing them bikes? Drapac are on the up and up. Giant bikes are proven in the field. Swift have just doubled their twitter followers after the announcement. They now have 16!

  17. I've never heard of them, doesnt mean much though. Strange Giant parting with them now after what, 6 or 7 years.

  18. Quoted post said:

    "This is the best handling bike we’ve tested.” That’s what Triathlon Plus magazine said about the Ultravox TI (Team Issue).

    I didn't know that elbow steerers were in a position to comment on that as I never knew they could ride around corners without falling off in their sluggos.

    lawl.

    Bit of a clean out at GE. Cookie got the [censored]..... so did Davis, but daahhh... Cookie. Performance or possible past 'performance' issues that could surface?
