RC Vikings is on a distinguished road
Default Great Britain and Olympic cycling

So England comes away with 14 medals during these games. Now Great Britain and cycling world power are not used together very often but they killed everybody in Beijing. What the hell is going on here?

Good question. It was great watching BBC during the Athens games. Spotlights aplenty on athletes that finished sixth and below. Yet they were a proud bunch. Now I bet they are going freaky.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

The story I read is that they dumped boatloads of dough into their track facilities and athletes for the last four years. Each rider has several custom track biokes just for them that cost something like 40k each and the claim the training and facilities have paid off. Or, they might be on drugs, I suppose. Has anybody seen Victor Conte lately?
