Anyone is a cycling fan an is watching cycling on the internet at cycling.tv or other sources?
I am huge fan of cycling and watching almost every race as time commitments let me do.
Todays race in the "hell of the north" Paris-Roubaix was great. Boonen was the clever one only taking much much shorter relays (about 1/2 or 1/3) as Ballan and Cancellara. And everyone knew when they come to the velodrome he'd be the winner.
I really enjoy the commentating by Anthony and Brian or Martin when both are unavailable, much better then those of german television or eurosport. They really know how to commentate such a thing.

This thread is to find the cycling fans in the lfs-community and maybe point to cycling.tv if they didnt already know.
Maybe have some chat about the actual races here.

Should have checked out your site before that stupid question

Yeah checked out that site run.
Be prepared for nipple accidents ...especially when you get hot for the run .
I hate tempo runs too... ...but if you want to build uo your ground speed its the best way to go
...and more important get yourself in the right agressive mood.

That might be a stupid question. What is that thingy on the right side above your helmet which your car has but the other not? Could be a camera, or...well dont know...
Congratulations for the win.

Congratulations Scawen! Nice news! All the best for your family!

As you now have a little girl, and she will know sth about fashion in the future...pls finally get a decent hair cut

I always had good and close racing with moose, dru, the whole cr gang, haelje and the spdo guys and many others in the beginning days.
Unfortunately one driver can spoil the fun for everyone. But you learn to avoid those drivers :P

I am checking in here from time to time

If you are already doing 6,7,8 mile long runs, arent that actually 10k...
i find it usually much easier to do 10k in an "event" then in training. The motivation is higher

Just came home from my training run for a spring run in my town on april 20th, but just 5k ...need to defend my 28th place.

Happy Birthday Victor

Some time ago the LFS-drivers Matze78 and Mühlviadla applied for a position within FPR and are now trial members of the team for indefinitely time. We are glad to see such interest in our team and wish both drivers good luck on their way into the team.
Matze78 who is driving in the Gentlefoot Formula Challenge has the chance to step into the chase for the title, his new team mate FPR|Tob is holding after season I. Also Mühlviadla fits into our team-profil as he is strengthening our OWRL line-up. We are looking forward to race with him in Division B and the OWRL F1 league this season. He still has the chance in Division B to catch the title from his new team-mate FPR|Chris who has won Season 10.

On the downside we'd like to tell you some bad news. After a long-time engagement with our team FPR|Paddi left the team due to internal differences about the future orientation of the team. At this place we would like to thank him for all the things he has done for FPR on the track and for the team-life, in driving, set-up, attracting new members and graphic site. He was always an active part of the team.
We wish him all the best for his future in LFS and his real-life!!

Paddi was looking for a new challenge...but left in peace.

Cant say anything else, admins and everyone involved did a top job! Really enjoyed racing yesterday ..and i think our debut wasnt to bad either

Yeah we lost one of our drivers with a lot of points
Not sad about the points, but about the driver

I just checked the tracker and it says K.Dingeling where its supposed to say C.Hofbauer. K.Dingeling is his LFSWorld name. C.Hofbauer his real name. its all my fault, sorry. got confused.Updated my post!

Updated our post. The driver was already in our application so i hope its ok.
Exchanged S. Zehnder (Steve5) with C. Hofbauer (K.Dingeling)

Quote from Koopa :

Due to 2 of our racers leaving and starting something up of their own together with some other LFS drivers, we are down to only 4 active racers, and 4 inactive fun racers, which cant be online all the time, so this is not enough to race in the MoE Series. Although the guys left are very motivated to race offcourse.

[...]

When we started our team in may 2007 i expected that it wouldnt be this hard to find good drivers... It was a quest of survival, staying alive so to say... (BeeGees) But its hard to run a small team and make it bigger, the main group will stick together, but still, newcomers are comming and leaving again, searching for a bigger challenge in bigger teams, or losing interest in LFS itself.

Sad to see you leave, we are undergoing the same atm. But as i see our ex-drivers already dated, flirted heavily and got married ... . Now we are trying to take this bad matter as a chance to try to restructure and restrengthens our team life, with priority on the group feeling.Which may have been lacked behind in the past months. Hope you guys can do the same and come back stronger as before.

Another major problem imo is made by the LFS-Community itself and is not down to not enough content.

The variety of leagues, teams, servers, cruising servers, driftign servers is increasing more and more, while the active player base stays more or less the same. That cant work if most of us like racing with others instead of racing/cruising on our own!

Ok everyone wants to have his own prestigous project, server or league. But does it really bring the community forward if we have dozens or hundreds of empty or tiny populated leagues and servers!?

This is directed to all league admins and server owners. Bundling of power on less projects instead of big variety can be sometimes better.

Gratz guys! Keep on running!

Any news on here? anyway...happy birthday and all the best m8!

good that this forum wont be biased towards a sim

36 populated and we have the middle of they day in central europe, where everyone is working, in the evening you'll have some more!

Watch my signature But its back to normal.

How did we get 75 Lap records, sth wrong there...take a look at it.

The mexicans were living in my city for the world cup in 06...didnt helped them much against argentina

Rumours and personal observation say they were partying to much here... ... even one player is now married with a girl from here

At least we got some nice new soccer places here at our main stadium

Happy Birthday "The Moose"

Definately one of the best persons around on the CTRA-Server!
