Result to date are:
Ist place : Road Cycling 42.79%
2nd Triathalon 18.51%

Not surprised at the results personally  but if the poll was changed to Backcountry skiing , I bet it would move up to 2nd place.

Speak for yourself..... I am frequently very trim, smooth and sleek!

I'll bet these folks rate pretty high up the list...

First, I can iron a shirt, and I know how to be sensitive to the needs of different fabrics.

Smuggest participants? That has to be Marathon Blogging, which attracts all sorts of "media types" from East London ( which is far cooler than the West End ). In fact there are now Marathon Blogging events in Olympia and Portlandia.

You think there are Titanic arguments about AT vs. Tele? You should see what happens when the bloggers start talking about the benefits of using a moleskin notebook vs. iPhone. You don't want to be around when this goes down. Entire bars have been emptied of organic beer and hummus.

I think what makes Roadies smug is the shaving of the legs..... I never really understood that.
I felt quite out of place yesterday at my spinning class..... there was a roadie beside me with shaved legs and it turned into a bit of a competition I'm afraid.  I crushed him and definitey won my spinning class yesterday despite my hairy legs.

I think we BC skiers need something like that to set us apart.
Shaved arms?????
