- 100% this! Seem some near misses over the years with fans getting a bit “frisky”! 😢
- Get thee to The Hague #45/47
- anyone know how to First Cycling to correct an error on my bio?
- Bah! Xmas ain’t the one for me… Happy Xmas and NY to you all.
- Had an utterly surreal encounter with the owner of a struggling small bookshop here in LE1 today. Went in to buy my dad a book for Xmas. Owner wanders over and strikes up conversation. All good. I tell him I’ve been buying books there since 1985, and I’m sorry to hear that he’s struggling…
- That starts a tirade… he rants about “junkies and drunks”, the council, and bizarrely cyclists (according to him we’re all c**ts). I give a ”hard stare”, place the book in his hands and leave with the parting line: shame I don’t work for the council; you’d have the trifecta you prick.
- Go on then… guess the riders, the event, the year:
- 5 down - (6 letters): Mix of red and yellow pigment, citrus fruit, William of…?
- Cherish the time you have with elderly parents. These jerseys were my mum and dad’s. GB representatives at the 1960 and 1963 World Championships (mum in the RR/dad in TP). I wish I’d asked more questions when mum was alive…
- This makes me very happy. I have masses of respect for this capo, Trentin! 🙌
