Maybe hes just a "Real Man"?

Although, real men dont ride road bikes and shave their legs

Yawn. "Real Men" dont feel compelled to define their masculinity through choice of athletic endeavor or grooming habits. Get the f--- over yourself.

Meh, I dont care about the drugs. Make it all legal. Makes it more exciting. I knew all along. Raised testosterone levels cause hightened male characteristics--did you check out that funny little van dyke the guy wore during the race? :lol:

I fear theres going to be something in this. You dont hit the wall and lose 10 mins one day and take it all back in a break away effort in the mountains the very next day. Busted hip or no.

That or hes been eating his Shredded Wheat from the big bowl, always makes me feel more manly.

This just in: vacant limey doesnt understand that sarcasm doesnt work in typed format.

There are smilies and such that can be used in web forums to indicate sarcasm and hyperbole. If you dont use them, then dont expect people to "get it".

I have to say this is very obviously ironic and doesnt need smilies, and Max you (gets Jeremy Irons bad Austrian accent) have fallen "hook, line and zinker" ;)  :mrgreen:

Not obvious one little bit. Soopahs got a habit of insulting folks that dont share his particular genre of cycling. Then of course, if you argue a point, its your fault as you cant read the "tone" of the post.  Lose-lose either way. Its a lazy man that cant use a smilie.

I felt the post didnt need a smilie, and most folks on here kinda get the point that im never serious.

You, sir.  Need to lighten up, or I might start refering to you as "Bush Supporter"
