Sir Chris Hoy replete with Olympic gold medal haul (photo ©Telegraph.co.uk)
I know that it's 'not cricket' ...
(it is definitely about cycling - the one thing that I really wanted to do but never got to because my Dad wouldn't get me a bike)
...but I was quite taken with the cycling, if not the Olympics as a whole - Nicole Cooke bum-rushing the show in the rain, then Hoy racing round the track, then him and two of his pals getting it on for more of the gold stuff - quite distracting, really. A change from the pampered, preening, 'modern-day slaves' that predominate in today's soccer Premiership (for example).
All in all an incredible year for the Edinburgh cyclist and his family.
God bless him.
