No mate.. I watch a bit of F1, missus sometimes watches boxing depending on who is fighting.

I like cycling (you wouldn't think so given how little I do of it) but never really been that interested in watching it.

Video clips of MTB'ing is cool.. but not really any more than that.

we have the best MTB'ers in the world converging somewhere in East London, along with British hopefulls.
Give it a chance eh?

There may be some amazing live footage?..

I used to live about a mile from where the course is.. some ok riding round there...

Oh.. I did catch a Red Bull event held in America some time last year. That was groovy.

If it's on, and I catch it I'll take a peek..

We had the best riders in the world converging on a proper mountain a few weeks ago. I don't think it will compare favourably.

Yep i will be watching some of it. Strangley i seem to catch it completely randomly.

The cycling isnt my favourite but will watch of course.

I prefer the running and the athletics.

Looking forward to it.

Can't wait!
I'm doing my best to retain blissful ignorance to the horrible commercialism and politics, and I'm not that fussed about the Brit's success -it's the enevitable new world records that do it for me. ..And the 100+200m; the fastest-men-in-the-world, over here! Gonna be awesome.

The relays make for a good watch too. Werent the american male team pretty good last year?
