Pistacchio, cashew or almond??

Come on Swiss. Surely we can get past the philosophy of cheating after Barry has taken the time to admit guilt and give us the background to what has happened. Hell he even left all of his real contact info on the letters he posted to this here thread. How many people here would be genuine enough to do that alone???? Can we then accept his admission as genuine too?? I also don't buy the sh1te some of you are attempting to sell about having to fork out 26K because some small print instructed you to do this, on a form you didn't even glance at properly, that professional cyclists have legal representation to guide them through the consequences of before they sign, ALL because you have traces of a PED for a totally different sport, that you last took roughly half a year ago, when your life focus was something completely different. I'm all for black and white, but here there is far too much grey! That any of you want to attempt to insinuate someone of Barry's shape or size could be serious about cheating via dope for cycling is probably the most intellectually challenging and laughable effort at making sense I have seen on the hub in a long time!!! Surely the circumstances have not escaped you?? Barry must be well over 100Kgs and the Epic must have been a survival experience of note, that no doubt would leave many on this forum reaching for PEDs if they had to attempt the same feat in Barry's frame, which is NOT built for endurance!!!! Are there really that few people who see the common sense in all of this?? Barry, you clearly have balls the size of your guns, for opening up to this crowd! The UCI and CSA efforts will probably be a walk in the park by comparison! Understand why you would take the roids for bodybuilding, which is part of the culture there, but you gotta admit you must stand out like an easy target in the cycling fraternity dude. Best of luck. Please keep us updated so that those of us objective enough to see the wood for the trees here, can see how the process actually goes and hopefully understand this much opinionated and more misunderstood part of what makes up mostly professional cycling, which we would never hear about from real pros attempting to protect a career!

I place 'I am' at 10... Is this supposed to make sense??

With the views we have, would you not share if you were us as well??

I swear I think I might make one these rides sometime soon?

Please keep us posted! Some pics would be awesome if there's anyone who can take. Even if it's just to see the vibe and set up on that side of this ball we call earth!

Have you not seen the places some of the keyboard warriors can get to on this site????

I probably should've let the suspense build first?? But then these are my daughters, so no, could be I did the right thing?

Even better, I was hugged by two girls this morning! In case someone goes down the wrong road with this, could it be my daughters are spending the next 10 days with me?

Should we have to answer??

Also will be a test of survival for me! First race back since injury, so doubt there will be much racing and far more training pace... Anyone doing the 60km looking to ride a comfortable pace with me?? Starting in C

Duidelik ne!!??

But you schmaaaaaaaak chops of course??

What are you left with when you take the day out of Mondays??

Did someone say Prego Rolls?? Where do I sign up?

Anything AND EVERYTHING??

Hoping there's as many barreling waves as access to said single track?

Indeed, but could it be that then there's room for a surf on one side and a bike ride on the other?? Best of both?

Weren't we all born ready??

Is there enough single track for this?

Will that be enough riding???

I give up, tell me??

Some more Congrats from the bergies down at the mountain!!!! Here's to a marriage 'race' that has enjoyable up hills with the sweetest of downhills, that never has a complete mechanical!!!!

Is there such a thing as bad time out the office??

Went for a cycle and got a totally unexpected new best friend as well! How much of a bonus is that?? Always been partial to Coco for a golden lab, but Marsie seems rightly the crowd favourite!
