Kylie wouldn't make a dent in a munchybox
I'd probably need to fight the Beeny for the onion rings though. ๐Ÿ™‚

Oh, I did. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'm more interested in my version.

My wife offered me super sex at the weekend.

I had the soup.

I still can't get my head around why you'd even bother getting your bike out if the ride wasn't essentially just a convoluted route to the pub

Good point, well made.

Fair enough, maybe there is a bit of both, TT is a special bike and all of that and when I was up north it tended to be on the long good A roads with roundabouts.

That's probably the more visible side of it, but there's also loads of small club events on more sporting courses (lumpy B roads) where people ride a mix of bikes. You can be fairly competitive on a road bike, add clip on's and a pointy helmet and you can be most of the way there. And it's usually about 3 quid to enter.

If you just want to do a long ride with some company then there's audax ๐Ÿ™‚

On saturday and sunday we went for a bike ride around glentress and innerleithen, I attacked early but stopped too much for haribos so I was only second. Despair.

Shirley it's always a race. I once came 4th in a mass start mtb sportive, no one else appeared to be racing, but it was still a race. I didn't brag about if afterwards, so does that mean I am not a bellend?

You should seem some of the training for the sports day dads race!

From the Tour de Mon website...

In 2015 we welcomed over 1700 cyclists to the shores of Newry Beach in Holyhead who all enjoyed a memorable day exploring the roads and scenery of this amazing unspoilt island and 2016 is set to be even bigger and better.

Hmm doesn't sound much like a race.

Funnily enough I can't see any mention of this chap in the event report either...
