peak on helmet – check. mtb pedals – check. waterbottle – check. backpack – check. response to mention of above (which curiously have never come from a roadie) – aye, you’ll be able to keep up then…

should you be feeling self conscious mike, come to perth and you can hide in the shade of my ‘shame’

I shall have my hands full with my own shame.

When Im on trips to the USA, I love wearing my Camelbak and baggies for a road ride – it makes overtaking so much more pleasurable!!

I shall indulge In some Baggie short wearing action until the weather improves…
