'Fat Boy' Rides Again!! by ratclima

As a connoisseur of the cycling press I have recently been swamped in features and adverts of a sportif nature.  What is a sportif I hear you cry, and cry you might.  In simple terms they are a modern form of torture for all of us of a less physically active nature ie 100 mile or 100 km day rides around the width and depth of the British countryside.  Take your pick, there is something for everyone www.cyclosport.org/events2010.aspx

It is very easy to get sucked into the whole circus but with names like 'Death in the Dales' and 'The Exmoor Beast' you'd easily be forgiven for thinking these were new high adrenalin rides at one of the major theme parks not an easy way to a week off work with exhaustion and a very sore rear end!!

So enjoy, I'm sure I'll see you fleetingly as you flash pass me by as I wheel my bike up some sheer rock face.
