For me, the content isn't as important as the tone of the coverage. Discuss and analyse whatever happens with Da Bears but let's all keep it in perspective. Keep a sense of humour and the ability to laugh at ourselves as well as the Packers.

If a race is red flagged for a crash then any riders involved in it are excluded from the results. Otherwise whoever is leading at 2/3rds race distance will just drop the bike in the gravel and stay down apparently injured.

To prepare cut in half remove the stone and white inner skin. Peel off the outer skin if eating raw, but leave on if cooking (slip it off later). Vanilla or lemon and rosewater syrup go with loquats. Unripe loquats make jams and jellies.
