... you may be unaware that Sunday's Observer has a photo of a naked Ms Pendleton, of cycling reknown, on the cover of it's glossy. And an interview, I believe, within its covers.


No idea why she thought she needed to get her kit off but I wouldn't want any CC-ers to miss out through avoidance of the quality press

Great, thanks for the tip off Victoria Fiona.

The former baffles me too, although it seems to be the way things are done these days if you're a female of a certain age, regardless of the line of work you happen to be in. Telegraph man myself, mind you.

Where's the other half?

 

[gavintc]

Yes, I had settled in on the train, opened the paper and there she was. Lovely lady. I might now go out and buy the Observer, and get the other 1/2 of the picture (dream on).

One for the "Girls in (or not in ooh err) Lycra Shorts" thread, eh?

 

[Keith Oates]

She's not in the nude, she's got her shoes on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Flying_Monkey]

It's not just female atheletes who do this. I seem to remember some rather impressive shots of Mario Cipollini in the buff except for cycling shoes...

Even better!!!!
Naked fit women, with just their shoes on.
Does this need moving into the Tea? thread?

No, leave something for the rest of us to talk about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the classic Lance photo, as has been pointed out. Vicky looks a lot better. Hubba.

I've just bolted some pedals to each side of my bed, where is she? Come on love get yourself clipped in, anyway up is just fine thanks!!

 

[simonali]

anyway up is just fine thanks!!

Actually, it isn't. You'd have to unbolt the pedals and put them back on the other way up, unless she's got feet that swivel 180°. You could give her a double Eduardo, I suppose, but we'd win even less medals than we normally do at the next championships!
