Now that we’ve finally (finally being the operative word) got some sunshine peeping its head around the curtain of what could well be described as a beleaguered summer, it’s time for all you sports fans to get running, cycling and generally moving outdoors (not that the weather would stop the more hardened amongst you). For all you fitness fanatics there’s a whole rosta of incredible blogs setting the web alight, and here are our cream of the crop.
THE CHANGEOVER
www.changeovertennis.com
Since we’re mad on all things tennis this week, it would be absolutely barmy not to mention the brilliant compendium of all things tennis related – The Changeover, it’s packed with incisive commentary, analysis and social media debate, and it’s beautifully designed, with some welcome humour thrown in for good measure.
ESPN CRIC INFO
www.espncricinfo.com
If you’re a cricket fan then this should be your destination domain; it’s a veritable cornucopia of cricketing information that will transform your Ashes experience. Commentary, match news and hot cricketing debate – it’s all there in an instant.
DIRT IN YOUR SKIRT
www.dirtinyourskirt.com
One of our all time favourite sports blogs here at The GWG, is the genius Dirt in Your Skirt, the brainchild of the wondrously sporty Margaret Schlachter, who is a whizz not only with the finer points of creating quality editorial, but the grit, grime and determination of a life lived at the mercy of a love affair with skiing, racing and all manner of other sports.
