Airehead ★ Posted January 8 Share #2 Posted January 8 According to Shelfield, What is a Flahute? The type of rider who wins races where 150 riders start and one finishes—that’s a Flahute. A Flahute thinks the Tour de France is just a bunch of long training rides. A real race is one where it’s pouring rain, it’s cold, the roads are treacherous, and the prize list is about the same as your 8-year-old neighbor’s allowance. When you’re a Flahute, that’s racing. To put it another way, if your cycling spirit dampens at the sight of rain, you sure as shoot ain’t a Flahute. or perhaps a type of beans? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted January 9 Share #21 Posted January 9 1 hour ago, Square Wheels said: It's not easy to figure out Here's how it really goes: First, the points value of any post is determined by running the post through the points tallying machine, shown below on the square table, Next, the output of the machine is entered into Forum data base by an unpaid intern and the state of the art terminal prints out the score for that particular post and the total points for the person who made the post. From there the intern takes the white ticket to the Forum Data Storage Center, where the information is kept securely so everyone's point count remains accurate. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
