    I just nipped out and measured my handlebars, they're 72cm across. Are they tiny?

    Also I've been complemented on my girth.

    Skis - chicks on sticks :wink:

    Personally I think both skis and snowboards rock but show me a pair of snowblades and I will show you the way to the childrens learning area, the only place those things are fit for.

    No issue with the beer belly, less than 11st and I can see my feet when I look down

    Skiing is the only 100% effective hangover remedy I've ever experienced.

    Good call but I have to say the best I've discovered is waterskiing. Now don't get me wrong. I think water skiing is a bit, well, silly really but stepping off the pier at 7am after you got to bed at 4am, bladdered - is well invigorating. ONce you've been dragged face first through the sea, you're a new man.

    Genius. The Nobel peace prize is winging it's way to you. Even the Nobel Committee know that snowblades are WRONG.

    BTW, thanks for the swimming link. I think I got the main point but my head exploded halfway through the second page of 6 describing how if you kind of tip sideways you can stretch your arm out further... (actually I did used to think you were supposed to keep your shoulders level until I saw much better swimmers sceaming past me rolling their shoulders).

    Boarders are basically mtb types and are to be avoided in social situations.

    The most recent Mr LiT and I used to have this argument.

    It was never meant to be. Skiers and snowboarders (or waterskiiers and wakeboarders) cannot co-exist.

    Indeed. On the bright side, the signs are that boarders are now evolving and that, in 1,000 years, their speech should have developed beyond "whoa, dude!".

    It was never meant to be. Skiers and snowboarders cannot co-exist.

    And is that perhaps because skiers get sick of waiting around for boarders and accommodating their limitations?

    "I'm not going down there it looks good but I bet I'll have to walk out the bottom"
    "Nah, not worth it if I have to go up that long drag again"
    "I hate bumps"
    "What do you mean 'skin up to that coll'? The only skinning -up I'm doing is on the chairlift"

    It was in GB Cycles down towards South Croydon. As I was only working at the council offices today I took a walk down to Tesco Express then kept on walking :-)

    No, it's because... actually I won't go into that!

    And it's usually my brother and I waiting for the skiiers in our party. Mostly because he and I race. He's faster, but falls more.

    At the risk of paraphrasing myself, we had the skiers vs snowboarders debate on ... ohhh ... page 131, I think.

    It was conclusively proven, and accepted as proven, that snowboarders are a bunch of meerkats*.

    *from when they sit together in a big clump then all kneel up together looking in the same direction
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.
