Subject: Just a thought.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out where the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deed could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with dust and sweat and blood. At best, he knows the triumph of high achievement; if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
(Paris Sorbonne,1910)

"The important thing in cycling is not to win but to take part; just as the important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."

U added this bit on......'who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause' ......... well dun, wot u want? a medal? MY MEDAL?? grrrr.....u aint having that......just coz u got none of ur own. HAHAHHAH
And that cycling is about taking part bullush u said.....that just bullusch......ppl only say that who never win or get even in the top 30 @ naional level in any dicipline......like u........that's probably y u said it init.
It goes more like this:

"Cycling is about taking part with the intent to win, if one fails to do so, then he has to settle with the pain of sharing the fate of losers, no feeling of superiority or acumplishment. However, this depends upon the contenders personal deffnition of winning, for this can portray many contexts, not just finishing first."
JOSEPH HEDGINO '14:56'

I rest my case.

[> [> [> [> [> NO. I moving ur case from its resting state. -- Ed, 15:00:38 06/10/02 Mon

NO. NO. NO. The quote from Hedgino is total shamology. Farce talk. I dont know who the fk he thinks he is but he sure talk like a spazmo.

The Mcfoolio quote is not bullush. I, er, 'he' actually stole it and then manipula-ted it and applied it to cycling. Clever stuff. So, who i rob it from? I no tellin'. U gotta find that out. Go on then. NOW!

[> [> [> [> [> [> resting........naa I THINK U'LL FIND its continuous!!! -- Edghino VII, 09:22:19 06/11/02 Tue

Off course i know u div. It's the words of the Olympic creed, attributed to Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games......u fool. I aint a dullard!!

And it is total bollush. WHO wants to suffer? If u like suffering become a member of 'ass rammers unlimited' coz u such a queer. I think you'll find this is more suiting:

"To ride at or near capacity is the best way I know of reaching a true introspective state. If you do it hard enough, it can open all kinds of inner doors." EDGINHO V11 2002.

My case has once more been restified.

Who sed nethin bout 'suffering'???? Not me. U dream-ted again.
But, while we on subject of suffering, that is actually wot cycling all about....

"He who suffers bestist and mostist winzies the races." MCFOOLIO 11 Just Then.
