I really don't know why he signed up; he was only on like twice.

^Maybe he disliked Ruben too much

No. Alot (!) of users sign up because of DB and more than 50% never post(ed) anything. He's one of them and I actually saw him online couple of times before the 31st December 2012, when he entered the site for the last time.

Still he brought much more interesting things than 99% of members ever will.

What seems stranger to me is fact that he was here last time 31st december, during night. Too much champagne, so he remembered Daily suddenly?

He was around the PCM (CyM) community at least since 2003 or 2004, I remember he took part in discussions on Cyanide forums back in those days, which were 1 or 2 seasons before he turned pro.

He became much less active after turning pro. Given he's now got wife and kid(s), and is famous for overtraining, he's probably not got that much free time to spend with us here.
Also, as he's done his whole career in dodgy teams, he probably wouldn't want to face too many questions.

Decided that for the coming 2013 year he'd do something PCM related (winning the TDF with himself or something along those lines), and went looking for a good DB or something like that ?

Makes sense. I guess I wouldn't want to be subjected to a bunch of crazy questions either, and they're not even from a reporter.

@Avin: Nice double post! But I'm guessing, he logged in right before the new year dropped. Drunk Jani, remembering his old friends.

@Admir: You deserve an award for your outstanding turnaround on these forums. From the Kim-Jong Un of the day, to one of the forum's best members. XD

Hahaha, I'll take that as a compliment!

You know NTTRASH, admin-run desires sacrifices.

It's behind us, there are three new admins and I'm not one of them. I still keep saying that you (me on first place) should stop spamming! Your argument is bad and you should feel bad.

ONE. MORE. TIME. You do realize my name is RIGHT THERE?

i know what thrash is , i just somehow forget to type that letter.

And i have some bad news for you Admir, you will never get rid of this joke, only if you would become non-polite again.

Oh no, he is doing it again, stop kissing those site owner asses Admir.

You CAN, but should you?

I can live with it.



It tastes so good, why should I stop it?



As there's no way to get rid of it, I guess I HAVE to.

This could belong in the 'your cycling' thread, but belongs here as much.

I had a bug my bike GPS tonight while riding, so I stopped after a few km to fix it, in the middle of a small town. A black guy passed by, walking, but dressed as a runner, looking at me. It turned out to be one of the oddest encounters I've made lately.

After 1 minute or so (time to turn off the GPS, turn it on again, let it find the satellites, etc.), the guy comes back and asks if I'm tired already, how much I cycle, the we started talking about running, as I'm a runner myself.
He looked far from impressed by my performances, as I claimed ~38 min on 10k, which is far off the world record, or any local race winning time. Then he claimed he used to run competitively while in Africa (he looked a little younger than my age), because his distant cousin (geographically as well as relatively) used to be a runner himself. Guy name's Mo Farah. He asked if I've heard of him (who has not ?). He later claimed he's his friend on facebook. Said Mo trains a lot in Kenya (I figured he mostly trained at Nike's camp in Florida or somewhere in the US), he looked a bit surprised before agreeing with me and saying he saw this on facebook as well.

Not sure if he was serious or just pretending all along (I'd say the odds are bigger for the second), but that definitely was odd.

Yup, quite odd. Did you add your new friend on facebook yet?

Very interesting story, Aquarius. At the first read, I actually thought you met Mo Farah and my face was like - for 10 seconds, but after re-reading it few more times I calmed down a bit.

For a moment I thought I'd try to see if I have access to Farah's friend list and try to match the picture with the guy I saw, but I thought he probably has more "friends" there than there's people in this town, and that it wasn't worth the time I'd spend checking it out.
