    I learned (via twitter) that the male equivalent of a Fag Hag is a Flap Jack. I’m not sure I can look at mid-ride snacks in the same way again. 😀

    Anybody else learned anything amusing today? It has to have been today, mind!

    Last week or 2.

    Either I might have the wrong size, or misjudging the gap between two steel bollards on a motorbike a decade ago is coming back to haunt my right knee.*

    *For a second after I was convinced I was going to look down and see my knee lying on the floor.

    Well I assisted in coaching my first ever wheelchair badminton session tonight. So I’ve learnt the rules to wheelchair badminton (they’re slightly different to normal badminton), how to operate a chair, how to play, what you can and can’t do, plus met about 20 people, all who seem really friendly and pleased to have me. Really enjoyed it, so should be back there next week. Here’s a little video if anyone is interested..

    I also learned that I still love riding round the same forest I first rode around in 1987

    Is it still the same though? The one I started riding in in 1992 is almost unrecognisable in terms of trails. Only the fire-roads and one or two of the main trail segments are still there. Large swathes of trees have also gone and been re-planted.

    I learnt that my forks were not able to absorb the impact of a small tree stump that appeared spontaneously from the gloop.

    I subsequently learnt that the elastic loop at the bottom of each leg on my waterproof baggies could hook itself over my brake lever and conspire to leave me trapped under my bike, flapping around like a fat, muddy fish out of water.

    @Lady Gee…a “Fag Hag” is a lady what mainly hangs out with gay men. I’ll leave the rest to you.

    Funnily enough, I learnt one of those at Judo tonight. Beware big, clumsy brown belts and their enthusiasm for unskilled counter throws.

    I also learned that I really need a new middle chainring.

    I learned there’s a lining between the muscle and the skin which (usually) stops the muscle pushing the skin up into a bulge. Hernia-style.

    I was paying so much attention I forgot what it’s called.

    I learnt that if you take your wife’s car and drive to the common to walk the dogs, said wife will climb into your van, complete with 90kg 8′ x 8′ patio window cargo-strapped on the roofbars, and drive with reckless abandon to the swimming pool, nearly killing pedestrians, cyclists and other travellers in the process. Thankfully, the note left on the kitchen table sarcastically directing you to where your van can be found will alleviate all concerns about said van having been pinched.
