. At first, while training for the keirin, she reaches 75mph as her front wheel remains a nerveless few millimetres behind the back tyre of a motorbike.

Aged 30 already? She'll be over the hills quickly then

 

[dellzeqq]

ah, yes. I spent a happy half hour gazing at the picture reading the article

"The fact that I'm already having all these bad dreams about being chased is a bit worrying," Victoria Pendleton says with a light laugh. "I'm always being chased by a monster. Sometimes the monster is a killer or a murderer. It doesn't really matter because I know exactly what that monster is as it hunts me down. The monster's got a big 2012 written all over it."

I think the monster is more likely Norm or dellzeqq... although I'm not sure I'd be able to chase her very far if she's doing 75mph.

At least she doesn't dream of being chaste

Although I did notice that there was also no mention of her dreaming of a 'rich p'. I think that sadly, you may be out of luck...

It's kilometres, not our British Standard miles.

Ooops! Thanks Colin. I did do a quick search in the racing sub-forum but didn't see it anywhere, although I suppose arguably she's not racing anymore.
