Romulus and Remus innit. Suckled by a wolf then founded Rome (according to Roman mythology).The ancients did things differently.

I suspect the World cup, UEFA cup and 9 Serie A medals will help cushion the disappointment. What a player.

I took part in the 45km route at the STBB mountain bike race a few years ago and started feeling ill about a third of the way around, so decided to do the 30km instead. There wasn't any control so I got a fantastic time for the 45km, which gave me a much better seeding for a couple of years. Now, unfortunately, all surpassed by my times reverting to the mean.

I think Koulibaly might be worth that for Man U. A great leader in defense is something they are lacking and I suspect they have noticed how van Dijk has solidified the Liverpool defense.

As long as they don’t put any rugby posts in the middle of the road, she’ll be fine.

I agree, although I think you get put into a draw and have the very small possibility of winning something worthwhile

Ive been phoned up three times by Discovery in the past week asking if I want a quote for car insurance from them. I assume this is because of the Vitality open where they can assess my driving behavior and they have decided I am a good risk, but i really hate being cold called like this. Is there any way i can get them to stop calling? (And please don't say take out insurance with them)

I have a similar issue, but it also seems to pick up when i am on my road bike and thinks that I am driving, Not all the time but enough so that get some bonus km's every week without driving. Now i just need to cycle more and remember not to slam on the brakes of my road bike.

Yes

My memories of cycling in Denmark when I lived there was that there was always a headwind. Whatever direction you cycled. I also had the one hill in the country to cycle up getting to Roskilde station on my way home.

Not only in cycling: "Mark Spitz is quoted as saying, "When I went to the Olympics, I had every intention of shaving the moustache off, but I realized I was getting so many comments about it—and everybody was talking about it—that I decided to keep it. I had some fun with a Russian coach who asked me if my moustache slowed me down. I said, 'No, as a matter of fact, it deflects water away from my mouth, allows my rear end to rise and make me bullet-shaped in the water, and that's what had allowed me to swim so great.' He's translating as fast as he can for the other coaches, and the following year every Russian male swimmer had a moustache."

I've always seen it as a funride, but i also think its human nature to try and go round something like the CTCT route as fast as possible. I doubt it will be possible to stop that, especially when the weather plays along.

Haven't heard of anybody else. I would contact them, they should be able go arrange for a board for you to collect at the Grand Parade (or just stick it to some cardboard)

You don't need it, just the timing chip, number on the back of your shirt, and board on the front of the bike. I worked out that they printed my stickers on the wrong side, oh well I'll stick them on

Took me about an hour to pick up my number, but IT glitches happen. Now I think I am being stupid as I get home and try to put my sticker on the race board, but the sticky surface is on the backing piece of paper. Am I supposed to sellotape it on? Am I missing something?

So finally, after 4/5 weeks missing my target, it's come down 100 points. I'm back in the saddle now, so I'm kind of conflicted about whether to continue not loading points and see whether it goes down again this week, or get my free coffee.

Not entirely true, i have just missed 5 weeks in a row (been travelling around Europe for work), not that I havent been exercising, just not recording it. The first four weeks no change and I'll find out tomorrow what happens with teh fifth.
