Sport and oh,oh...Politics

Good to see Steve making a few notes on the blog. I wasn't aware he could write, so quite an achievement.
Managed an hour and a half on the stumpy tonight, still a bit muddy for decent riding but it was good to get re-acquainted with nobblies again. Hopefully the weather will be good for the HONC and i won't bonk before 50 miles!!
Thought i should make a comment about world affairs, seeing as how this blog is a medium for all things good and proper.
I have always been an advocate for world peace, and given that we are undertaking a sporting event in the Olympic year i thought it only right to suggest that we boycott watching the Olympics, given China's intrusion in Tibet, maybe a small token but if enough people did it....who knows. Having travelled in Nepal and India i can only comment on how friendly and welcoming Tibetan refugees were to me. Comments please.

Pro peaceful protest. China should not have been awarded the games but I am against a boycott and will be cheering on our Athletes when the time comes.
