Cycling Heroes

The latest drug fiasco has made me think again about my cycling heroes
so off the list go all the racers.
Who goes on the list?
Well how about that guy Dave from this ng who cycled from land's end to
john O Groats. The wrong way round. In march. With a hammock.
Are you still here, Dave? And if so can you confirm that you did it
without any performance enhancing drugs?

Graeme Obree, sacked from his only professional cycling team for refusing
to dope. The only performance enhancing substance he ever took was
marmalade sandwiches.

that she /must/ be clean - but based on what evidence, I'm not sure. I
like to believe she's clean but you never can tell.

B.Wiggins likewise.

broke.
