So, who has been inspired by the Olympics and taken up a new sport?

I think I've excelled myself opening bottles of wine over the last ten days....
*actually, I am considering taking up bike riding again* 
I think we need to push for more and more cycle tracks. The proper type as featured abroad, and particularly away from vehicles and pedestrians.

I was going to leave it until a few more responses, but I am still the same lazy old git I was before the Olympics!!

I'm thinking about taking up marathon running again.
I've thought about it before
In my experience a lot of people are intimidated by the sportier side of the Lycra brigade and need a bit of steering to locate street bikes and the joys of cycling in the countryside in a non competitive manner.

Cycling is very popular at my place of work and I have three friends who regularly cycle into the countryside.

As long as you are getting a glass of milk, then it's all good. I'm lucky, not a drinker, but a sucker for ice cream..

How very true Soozy. I try and have a laugh each day, usually watch a couple of eps of my favourite comedy.

I find a trip over to DS quite hilarious. I love to steam in and wind them up ............................I wish they'd make that an Olympic sport

You have all inspired me to turn over a new leaf.
I am going to finish off the box of ice cream tonight and then that's it, no more confectionary for two months.
It will be fruit as snack food from now on.
I'm quite active anyway, but the Olympics has definitely made me fancy a swim
