I always think of running as the pre-injury precursor to cycling.

I gave up running after the Great South Run in 2001 in Portsmouth. 10 miles, pretty hard - but what convinced me that I'm not a runner is when I was overtaken in the last 1/2 mile by a tree. And my wife never let me forget that fact :laugh...

That would be the same too. It's an ace - theres a 4/52 chance of that. Afterwards you have a 1/4 chance of guessing right (which ace is it?). It's not an ace - theres a 48/52 chance of that. Afterwards you have a 1/48 chance of guessing right...

I saw a lot of skinny runners out on the local hill roads on Saturday. I would like to go running but, like @steverob, the last time I did it I injured myself so it is probably not a good idea to do it again! If I do give way to temptation, I...

Sorry, multitasking so distracted - I read it as "Is the card an ace?"! :blush:

Got there at last with the relentless narrowing down of clues. It's heading NW through Swallow in Lincolnshire, here I think this was on last year's LEL route, or if not it ran very near.

I was once wandering around a flea market with a woman who was extremely keen on old collectibles*** and who loved Scrabble. My pal was at another stall, staring at something or other, and I was getting a bit bored. Then I spotted the perfect...

Butyl is in the eye of the beholder. I'll get my coat.

Corinthian ideals were mostly tosh, and founded originally on class - the wealthy could afford to indulge their sporting instincts for no financial gain.

A couple of shortish utility runs yesterday and today for a total of about 30-something miles over the weekend. Yesterday was a simple out-and-back to the supermarket for necessities. Today had a similar goal with a bit of a reccie for a...

It was just the two of us and we did take the easier return option! We had cool misty conditions for the first 2.5 hours, but fortunately not the very chilly fog that we got on last weekend's ride. The mist thinned for the last 1.5 hours but the...

Lightweight gloves under cycling mitts!

If I want extra heat (which is often) I usually wear winter running gloves under what ever gloves I'm using. Today it was the winter running gloves under a pair of Ekoi winter gloves.
