Sir Chris Hoy

Just watched his Cafe Ride on YouTube….I don’t know if there are awards for this type of film but this one certainly deserves recognition. It’s awesome…as is he.

It's one of the very best - watched it whilst on the turbo yesterday morning, great watch.
What an amazing person he is.

I did exactly this, then texted my mates and told them to watch it even if they don’t cycle. One of my best friends is currently stage 4 prostate cancer which has spread to his spine.

For full disclosure, I certainly shed some tears whilst watching the BBC documentary, and it was nothing to do with the workout intensity whilst on the turbo.

Maybe not that surprising, but the toughest bits to watch were his wife and friends talking about when they first heard the news.
Sir Chris himself talking about it, as he is so matter of fact, positive and pragmatic, meant for me, those bits were more straightforward to watch.
I also blubbed at ALL the Olympic gold medal playbacks as well, loved a bit of Hugh Porter commentary back in the day too.

It's another must watch.

Your not wrong, you've got to pretty harsh not to feel for him and his family. What makes it worse is when you realise his wife has a life limiting disease.

That is THE ONLY time that Hugh Porter is acceptable on my TV device.

Some mild amusement in people on Social Media posting how sad it was to see was to see Sir CH on crutches at the darts and blaming his cancer, before being corrected that he did his leg in shredding on his mountain bike. Go Chris

I have not been able to bring myself to watch it yet. A friend did, however. She has no interest in sport, no idea who Chris Hoy is, but watched it anyway. She was moved to tears too.
