He’s only 32, but cycling legend and five-times winner of the Tour de France, Lance Armstrong, has hinted that he might retire soon. But that’s no reason for you lazy Iubbers to relax. Time to work off some of that winter paunch with a training session at Glentress, Scotland’s most popular - and fast-growing - mountain biking centre. A vast network of trails that’s only two miles from Peebles, Glentress offers a variety of excellent routes for everyone from novices to hell-raising, mud-spraying experts. With bike hire available at just £12 for a half day from nearby Bicycle Works (www.bicycleworks.co.uk), you’ve got no excuses. Allez les Ecossais! www.scottishsport.co.uk/cycling/glentress.htm

HEARTS V RANGERS, Tynecastle, Sat 13 Mar
At the end of the day, it’s a game of two halves. Or at least it’s a season of two halves for Hearts, as their strong early season performances have been undermined by the recent grim admission that the club is close to insolvency. So the Jambos play their last ever game against Rangers at Tynecastle as the owners sell up and plan to lodge in nearby Murrayfield stadium. At the same time, Hearts have applied for entry into the lntertoto Cup for the first time in years, and with their third place in the SPL more or less assured, there’s a chance that Edinburgh will see European football again be‘ore long. If not, we’ll surely be able to say we woz robbed.
