during our weekly skype to my parents (we’re ex-pats) my wife brought up my summer CRC shopping list, expecting my folks to agree with her “waste of luggage allowance”, “how many bike bits / bikes does someone need” etc.
My Dad (65 next month) disappeared for a few minutes and then wheeled his newest bike in from the garage. He then had to explain to my OH how the mountain bike was for mountain biking, the bike he bought last summer was “too roady” but would be great for LeJoG this summer and that he wanted something for tow paths.
Guess I know where I get it from!
