Cycling is the new Golf. There is now a big percentage of folk spending shed loads of money on equipment they probably don't have the ability to get the best out of.

I used to get riled by comments like that.. but now I just smile


Come bike racing with me ? see what you think then?

It's playing out like hide and seek.

I've been looking everwhere for Bradford in SL but cannot find them....I give up.

banter

Both are perfect for middle aged men with money to spare. Take too many shots, buy some new clubs/trolley/gloves. Not cycling any faster, get some new wheels/gears/tyres, etc.

For an event that nobody can apparently see the appeal of, it managed to attract something like 70% of the attendance Super League gets in a full season over just three days.

Hardly surprising the local media gave it a higher profile than some two bob rugby matches.

But you must admit it presents a good opportunity (not that any is needed) for sad people to harrumph their faux professional outrage

Sadly, professional harrumphers (of which this forum has many) rarely need an opportunity to perform like circus sealions.

Coming on here, talking sense, not moaning about some perceived injustice.....just what is this forum coming to?

I regularly have a problem with how RL is reported by the major media, it often doesn't get the coverage its attendances deserve.

For instance, Leeds games are often the biggest sporting event in the country on a Friday night, yet are rarely reported well enough.

However, when there are other bigger events or games on, we can't complain. As I said, if we want more coverage than the cycling then we need to get more people at the games than at the cycling.

Both my clubs and my bike haven't been out of my garage in 12 months.......m
