Tumbleweed Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 2013 was not a good year, first my cycling idol, then my fantasy woman Nigela Lawson, both admitted to doping. Hope this makes you feel better: Ed-Zulu and scotty 2
Chro Mo Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Aah, the bad old days. I remember that. Before the Hub existed, I joined a small South African forum: www.cyclingforums.com. There weren't that many of us there and it wasn't particularly active but it was fun. Any survivors here? I think we were a group who didn't like the format and lack of comeraderie of the Supercycling chat. But it didn't grow as it wasn't really marketed at all... and then The Hub took over - the rest is history. I joined The Hub a few months after its creation but lost my login somewhere along the line. Can't even remember my username. Had a couple of years sabatical before re-registering.I remember that - there was a dude with a gazillion posts caled VO2MAX - remember him? Very knowledgeable. Learned a lot on that forum. Was a lot more civil than the interactions these days...
Chro Mo Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Hey, Tumbleweed - a bit off topic: Neil Young and Crazy Horse rock! deanbean 1
Zaskar Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 What about Hub hookups?? I know there have been a few. I met Amateur through the hub at the 2007 pre-Argus breakfast ride. Now 7 years later we are happily married . scotty, NotSoBigBen, fanievb and 7 others 10
SwissVan Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Ha yeah, there have been a few of those over the years. Earliest was a guy called Irish going to battle with the LA fans/disciples, when he disappeared then Colonel took over. Irishj9 - still registered as a member

Tumbleweed Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Hey, Tumbleweed - a bit off topic: Neil Young and Crazy Horse rock! Indeed! I recently got given the "Live at the Cellar Door" re-release to review. Awesome album!
RockCoach Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I remember that - there was a dude with a gazillion posts caled VO2MAX - remember him? Very knowledgeable. Learned a lot on that forum. Was a lot more civil than the interactions these days... Haha. Yeah, I remember him. I was quite active when it was still relatively small. I used to dish out a lot of advice which just got lapped up. I hope some of it was good. You have to remember that back then there was no:Road vs MTBTherefore no 26" vs 29" vs 27.5"
Cellar Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Back then was it 8spd vs 9spd!? Campy vs Shimano would be my guess.
jmaccelari Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I am also a survivor of the Spinman group from a while back - I know there are also a couple of fellow survivors here on the Hub. Spinman! Now that's a name I have not heard in many a year!
NotSoBigBen Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I'm sure I saw Terry (Spinman) on some or other cycling program on TV recently ....
eddy Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Scotty if you were to beam down the top3 LA disciples....who would they be? Goya-Goya :thumbup:
gummibear Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Hope this makes you feel better: If that's what COKE does to you...then i want some
