Tumbling down the hill.......

[JohnK]

No, I don't think this is the right way to go. I think that those who are, er, 'over the hill', (and I most definitely fall into this category), get enough coverage already.

The recent posts on the 'Aldermans ascent' thread (below) have revealed what a lot of members think the sport should be about: going as fast as you can; competing in, rather than completing, events. If we genuinely want to move the forum, and the sport, forward then we should be trying to stimulate more conversations about races, training, tactics, equipment etc, and not promoting a sad gits club to talk about 'the good old days'

SPOT ON MARCO it would be better for the forum if there were more posts by people that followed the quote :-

DON`T LIMIT YOUR CHALLENGES but CHALLENGE YOUR LIMITS

Anybody and everybody could live by that quote and be able to inspire and motivate folk by relaying interesting posts on a forum.

After all the biggest competition anybody enters into is the lifelong challenge against themselves.

Bemoaning your lot and living in the past is not really that interesting to other people, that maybe a little harsh but sadly it`s true.
