Very sad, condolences to the family. The announcer said her name was Olive. There were 2 marshalls and a traffic cop at this intersection and half the road was closed off with highly visible cones. It appears this motorist was not licenced and I surmise she panicked when the cop waved her down.

You will have to go some to beat the original "..ROCKS big time" thread. Start one such as "I confess that I, like Conty, also took a prohibited substance when................." Good luck!!

That does not make sense as if you start using coke or GU or whatever high GI then you just keep using it and you will get a boost. I think the cramp was all in your mind I tried 32 on a 3 hour ride yesterday and took it like MDW prescribed with a GU in the last hour - it worked very well indeed!!

Hey Fakes, they only test the first 5000 iders in each section - so u will be ok!

Thanks Mark - I will give it a go. So no pre-loading with 32 is required? Squash. I play league squash and drink coke (!) between games. Do u think 32 is better? Weight Loss Would drinking 32 during the day instead of tea and coffee contribute to increased weight loss. I am battling to lose wt and am prepared to clutch at any straws!!

Thanks for the comprehensive reply MDW. My rides are normally 3 to 3.5 hours long.

I have been reading a few threads on this subject but there is so many conflicting views and ways of using it that I am confused. I usually ride with Cytomax and GU's. I decided to try G32 with GU and had an uneventful ride as it was not too hard or long but I would not say that either product was better than the other. I then read that you don't use GU with 32!! I tried this and I felt very flat throughout the ride. I also read that you only take GU the last hour with 32. I tried this and nothing kicked in!! Yesterday I went back to Cyto and GU and felt great throughout the 3 hour ride!! In mitigation, when I used 32 I also had Future Life as a pre-ride meal whereas when I use Cyto -I use my tried and tested Low GI toast with Peanut butter and honey. It appears obvious that Cyto is the way to go for me but I am always willing to try new things and perhaps if I used 32 in the right way it could be of greater benefit to me?

Not very accurate for me - 21 beats too slow!!!!

I remember Arnie and Franco Columbo (?) putting on a show in Cape Town in the early 70's. Franco was really ripped and very very strong - he outperformed Arnie by a long way in a bench press exhibition!!

Good news chaps - I lost 2kg this past week.....................I was circumcised on Monday.

Bunch of young skinny riders!! 1,82 95kg 20.1% Just turned 60 and according to the dietician my optimum fat percentage should be 16 - 20% So not far to go!! Like Mark I was a power lifter and olympic lifter in my youth and ate Bears for breakfast!!

Remember, this is an English forum. Moenie *** praat nie.

It was the wind lads. The early riders had a great advantage and the top 10 riders were way off the early pace - just as well it did not influence the results - only Menchov performed in the top guys and probably would have won it if he started in the morning like the winner.

OK wise guy, AC only beat AF by a scant 31" where did you get your erroneous info that "Alberto will rip Andy apart"? LA would not have made such a stupid error which has cost Andy the Tour as this was the differemce before the ill fated attack in the wrong gear!!!!!!!!!!!! The commentators mentioned ad nauseum, how much Andy had improved and was very confident of beating AC in the TT!!!!!!!!!!

for attacking and not losing any time for a change. Well done AC on being gracious enough to let Andy regain some of his pride by letting him win the prestigious stage and for his sportsmanship in waiting for Sammy. Better luck next year Andy!!

Its called public relations - I wish Andy would stop threatening revenge and show us he can ride. I predict the gap will still be 8 seceonds at the end of the day!!

Reading and thinking and watching the drama I have come to one conclusion....it all boils down to Andy's mistake. He had the Yellow Jersey - why attack? If he just maintained the status quo he would still have the Yellow today instead of the White...maybe next year he will have the experience to retain it?? How often did LA lose it?

Oh dearie me, anyway the Viking has the Green jersey for keeps.

Thanks Matt and Slowbee - I must learn patience!!

Thanks Matt - sorry I got highly frustrated as my email addy has changed - I would appreciate it if you could merge my accounts under Wobbles with the Wobbles07 email address. Many thanks.

Hi slowbee - I can't even find the old search button let alone how to contact our esteemed administrators. When I have time I will try and work out how this supposedly "updated" site works. Yours in frustration - Wobbles 07!!!

I have been overseas for a couple of months. I come back and I can't log on. My email has changed so can't update profile and so have to re-register as Wobbles07 and lose all my Wobbles posts. The admin and communication from our forum administrators is very poor!!

Jeff is a nice guy and extremely accomodating.
