Obviously you'd prefer some sort of solution to all those Unionists who will be playing and watching in the stadium, a final one perhaps. Couldn't agree more. This is the wit kant who goes around claiming he has his little group that obsesses about him yet every time you post Willie he's onto you l...

Have you a link to the official one?

We can't even agree on which is the official thread!

I hope Leinster obliterate them.

It is actually very robust, you'll ruin your wheel long before you damage the fork. Weather shouldn't be an issue either. There are loads of people running carbon forks on winter training bikes and commuters with no problems. Carbon frame? I suppose it depends what one uses their bike for. For comm...

il faisait du vélo sans selle ?

I set myself a challenge of 20/10/20/10/20 miles for my Mon-Fri commute - did a few extra miles a couple of days so I ended up with 92 miles for the week. I was very 'kin happy to see the 20 mile mark click over 50 yards from my front door on Friday night; my legs were mince by then. Probably a 60/...

Not bad for an aul lad I suppose.

Bit too hilly for an old boy like me!

I went for a spin with a couple of blokes from the local cycling club : 135 kms. Terenure, Dundrum, Lamb Doyles, Kilternan, Enniskerry, Bray, Greystones, Delgany, Kilcoole, Newtown, Newcastle, Roundwood and then back the same route Newcastle, Newtown, Kilcoole, Delgany................ Little bit tir...

Fixed are interesting to ride. I sometimes go down to Eamonn Ceannt park to ride the track on a fixed with crew down there on Wednesday evenings. I'm not sure I'd try riding a fixed on the open road though. edit : what fixed bikes are very good for is learning to ride tempo. Excellent form of cadenc...

Terrible argument Ovalball - The players should not be allowed declare for us, it is most certainly not 'swings and roundabouts' as you say. So, where else would the Irish players get 1st class experience and the benefit of all the coaching structures in the English Counties? We have no choice abou...

Nice thread.

When you hit yer 40's for some reason gardening seems to be the thing to get in to.
I planted a hedgerow last October and, because of the mild winter we had over here, it's coming along really well.

Looking forward to reading some interesting stuff here

His fathers ashes just made an appearance at the Oscars.

It is a phenomenal game. The skills of the game are one thing but to execute those skills at speed is something else. At the higher levels. At junior matches you'd often wonder if the lads know there's a ball there at all. Still entertaining, but in a nasty sort of way. Lower grade stuff can be dan...

Does she have to go to Beijing to qualify or something like that?? She's fantastic & someone who should be held up more as role model to young grils as opposed to the stick insect, malnourished, slutty looking pop princess/tv stars.

Paddy Barnes (the fella sparring with Taylor) is a superb boxer.

I got odds three years ago 35-1 that Barnes will win gold in London, after he fought in Beijing 2008.
