Had to hand over the telly to my lad. Ben 10 FFS. So I'm stuck with BBC website coverage.

What's baffled me about the cycling is all this took of "no one helping team gb" er well yeah of course...surely you shouldn't be relying on rival countries to help you win gold

[Shaggy]

The whole thing is baffling. I think my sojourn into cycling is over forever.

Road cycling was a massive anti-climax but I think it will pick up a few notches in the Velodrome.

In the tour de France teams help one another, imo team GB got the tactics wrong.

watching the ladies beach volleyball... Hilarious - they keep playing the Benny Hill theme in between plays... the back to the bikini clad hotties cavorting around in the sand...

[Shaggy]

Beach volleyball is a ridiculous sport isn't it

[spud_gun]

Enjoyed the chap from Boart-land who won the road race blanking the BBC interviewer when she asked him about the tactics employed against the GB team

Is that the best you can do BBC? 'Yeah well done for winning mate but come on it wasn't really fair on the GB lads, perhaps you could have gone easier and let them win?'

As a spectator sport maybe, but I've actually been thinking (as part of my realisation that I'm getting old and need to do some exercise because I'm spectacularly unfit) for a while now about maybe getting a bike. Problem is I don't know where I'd ride it (nor do I know anyone else who goes on rides). The thought of riding on the roads with loads of cars scares me somewhat So does that mean I should get a mountain bike and go "off terrain"?

I don't know why I'm asking you though. Neil? Advice please.

Team GB's beach volleyball participant has *massive* shoulders.

Rcasemore is off to see it too, I think.

You'd hope to see Australia vs Sweden. :drool:
