Silverstone F1 GP/Goodwood Festival of Speed/Tour de France

[Rocket36]

The tour is great, i was at stage 6 last week, i would love to follow the whole tour one year. What they do on a bike is extraordinary

What? Pedal? Nothing extraordinary about that.

Their fitness and mental strength is extraordinary. What they do on the bike is learnt by most people when they're kids. Those guys just apply it at a professional level.

Well you can't do it, Pedaling at an average speed of 50km/h plus on a bike for over 6 hours a day is quite extraordinary, anyone can pedal a bike, like anyone can run 100m, but not everyone can run under 10 seconds. And yes, fitness and mental strength is a major part. The whole package of what they do to me is extraordinary.

What? Pedal? Nothing extraordinary about that.

And what? Stepping on the floor with your right foot is any better?

Don't slap athletes and coaches in the face with comments like that.

ANY and EVERY sport can be done with the human body at a young age. There's so many factors that make an elite athlete, and it's extraordinary and if they are recognised for being in the city/country/world, then it's nothing to spit at.

[Rocket36]

I didn't say it was something to spit at. Riding a bike is NOT extraordinary. Kids can do it from when they're 4 or 5. What is extraordinary is how long and how fast these guys ride for. How fit they are, mentally and physically. I wasn't slapping anyone. Simply pointing out that what they do on the bike (which is pedal) is not the part that's extraordinary.

Go to Monaco, it isn't that expensive if you stay in Nice and catch the train in.

Me, I'd like to see if I could squeeze a 24 Hours of Le Mans. Now that I would camp out for.

Yea that was another thought. I reckon it'd be amazing.

One of the big drawcarsd for Silverstone though is Goodwood the weekend (or thereabouts) before. 2 great events in one-ish week.
