It's not me, so.....

The problem is that it is currently not easy to see who is doping.

Asking if your opinion on one thing is the same as your opinion on another is disingenuous? Ok. I'll have to look up that word again.

No need to get salty. We're allowed to disagree.

The access gap already exists. I'm not sure what you mean by more difficult to regulate, when the ped issue is currently 100% unregulated. Any control would be better than the free for all that exists now.

Is that your reasoning why marijuana, cocaine, whatever is also illegal? I wonder why alcohol and cigarettes are legal. Funny that you think they're not healthy. I can go to any doctor right now, and complain of lack of performance and he will legally and ethically prescribe test/hgh/whatever to me, in the interest of anti-aging, and prolonging my life at a certain level.

Scientific/medical best practice. Test isn't really a mystery anymore to the medical profession. Heck, they even have a decent grasp of SARMS.

See my previous post. My position is that they should not be illegal in the first place.

It's the same argument Dr Carl Hart uses about so called recreational drugs. If they weren't illegal, you would get a certified product and instructions on how to use it. Criminalizing things that people are going to do anyway, removes oversight completely, resulting in a poor and questionable product and even worse direction on it's use. Bring the things into the light and administer good quality products using the latest scientific best practice for their use.

Why would you raise your kid to be in a position to be influenced by anyone without them talking to you about it?

99% of peds, administered under proper supervision have almost zero side effects. To suggest criminal sanction is laughable.

I forgot how funny you okes can be.

I'd go 27.5 wheel size in a large frame size at that height. 29ers will be too big for you. Grow another 10cm before you look at one.

Well, you can. is your head that far in the sand that you think this young (admittedly brilliant athlete) is the only one doped to the gills at WO22?

Locally we call them team moneycomb.

Ya. I've only ever worried about the route for things like SA champs and stage races, and then it was only because I needed to know where's what for team duties, not cause I was worried about going the wrong way. For a funride, I'd also have blindly followed the lead vehicle.

So, regardless of the position of that chevron board, how come every other rider knew which way to turn? Isn't the onus on the rider still to familiarise themselves with the route?

Yeah, that wasn't a particularly dangerous bit of road anyway. Unless you're a wrapped up in cotton wool type who drives alone in their car wearing a covid mask, I guess then the entire world is a horribly dangerous place.

Why can't bikes/frames simply be tested according to some international standard like Euro NCAP for cars? Let them be as light as you want, as long as they meet the required standard? Would make a lot more sense than having a stupid UCI sticker on the frame.

Precisely my point???? The thing with the Aurum is no dropped seatstay, which is so much better looking. Tough decision. Also, Contador > Lance...

Kempton

I have mailed them now to ask w, t and f.

When did you book? I just checked my confirmation mail, I booked Thursday last week, and still no nothing.

So, if money was no object, one of these, or a Ventum? https://ventumracing.com/

It's along shot, anyone got a pallet? A bridge at the local MTB park is borked and I'd like to help out.
