You ever get that feeling things aren't rather what they seem to be? That feeling when something looks, smells and sounds as you 'd anticipate, however there's something simply a bit various, and you can't rather put your finger on why. Like baseball, however with an unusual accent. Or the Olympic champ that uses a kite, however out in the ocean!


We're on our bikes with the oldest female to win an Olympic biking medal in the group pursuit discipline. Dotise Bauch was nearly forty when she won silver as part of the US team at London 2012. An amazing accomplishment, made all the more impressive by her late arrival into the sport, she was recommended by a therapist to take up cycling to enhance her psychological health, however also because she positioned on the podium on a plant powered diet.


It looks easy enough, however there are fewer more technically requiring sports than Kitesurfing. You ride a board under you, with a huge kite above you and your task is to navigate a course out on water quicker than anyone else, moved by the wind and your capability to stay on the board!

As Baseball's World Series Champions are crowned you may be forgiven for believing that your for enjoying a game is minimal ... but what if i informed you there remained in fact a little but flourishing passion for the game in a place you might not anticipate! And whilst we know that baseball isn't just an American sport and it's extremely popular in East Asia, the Caribbean, and in South and Central America too. But Europe? Well perhaps that's more of a surprise to fans whose dedication is to the Blue Jays, the Dodgers or the Yankee's. We are in search of baseball fanatics on the other side of the Atlantic.
