Re: Doping and why everyone is doing it.
If I was a marginal pro athlete and felt I had to take PED's to survive, I likely would do it. If it meant the difference between survival, and possible success in my career and the end of my career then I would probably seriously consider it. Pro sports are a business, they entertainment for the bu...

Re: Doping and why everyone is doing it.
I understand why people do it, but as Jen said that doesn't make it right.

Re: A Cautiionary Tale....Re carrying ID
That's quite a story Jo Jo. Good for you for looking after the bike and for helping contact his family. But, I am not surprised you would do something like that.

Re: Orillia 5km & 10km Sunday August 5th -TIMEX Series
I have done a few of these races, they are great. Smaller than the "big city" events of course, but the courses are excellent for racing and the price is right.

My first Centurion ride
I know this isn't a running event, but I thought I would check in anyway :P (as some of you know nagging injuried have curtailed my running). The Centurion events are much like marathons, in that there are multiple distances and a mix of serious and casual riders. Most events are 25, 50 & 100 mi...

Re: Oscar Pistorius to Compete in London 2012!
.I find it disappointing news: he is not doing the same event as the others.
He is an inspiration to many people, and I honor that, but his prosthetics make the event different.

Re: 100% of cycling deaths preventable...
I read the article and thought, yeah, so what? There was nothing new in it and very little substance. To say 100% of these deaths were preventable, is stating the obvious. Accidents are preventable, usually one party involved was breaking the law (i.e. speeding) or was not paying attention. If every...
