Re: A Bike Race (around Wales)

^ good post that. PERSONALLY LIABLE. Tends to concentrate the mind a bit. I've heard that the food in Her Majesty's involuntary residential establishments is not what it used to be so best steer clear of them if possible.

Re: What you done t' your bike today

I've run out of MTB/Clouseau innuendo now. We need Stu or Rich3rd to pop by and keep us going. Possibly a riff on 'nailing that berm' or something . It could veer into 'Allo 'Allo country too.

Tested that there new 'Twin Cheeks' (or Professor Plums as Stu might call it) saddle. No more razor blades for me from now on, thank you. It's excellent. No sore 'bits' at all and very comfy, as I suppose you'd expect when your sit-bones are, well, sitting rather than perching like they have done wi...

It certainly is. Peter mentions farmers, but I'm sure you will have already sussed that being Reg & Co we'll be visiting bits of that map where we're most unlikely to be troubling any farmers :wink: .

But surely you'd end up with purple feet then, which would be even harder to explain to the missus than a purple tongue? Unless you'd also just been on a Winter Bivvy and got frostbite.

Or did you mean to type "Phil, yer boots"?
