Thank you for doing that Hils
I wanted to reply but I see Shaun has locked the thread. Some of the comments posted by others made me a tad annoyed.
I love Tea?, Post A Lie and some of the other big threads. In answer to an opinion expressed by someone....I've been a cyclist for nearly 50 years. In 2012 I cycled over 7,000 miles and I'll do 4,000+ this year. I take a keen interesting road racing, triathlon and touring. In 1987 I did the European Ironman in Finland (12 hrs 22 mins before anyone asks). My best time for a 50 mile TT was 2hrs 10 mins.
I think I qualify as a keen cyclist but I just love the social aspects of cycling and that is what those threads in Cafe give me.
I know it's horses for courses and many members of CC don't share my love of these threads. But we all have a different idea of fun and CC should celebrate this diversity. Phew, I feel better now......
