So apparently, there is a big bike race thing starting here soon. The same big bike race thing that came in 2007 when we made a special journey to the outlaws in Sussex so I could watch it.

Anyway, this big bike race thing this year clashes with various family events around our lad’s birthday, and we have discussed, and dismissed various travel and spectating options, none of which were really useful to us.

Having lunch with my brother in law today he was asking if I’d be watching the coverage on ITV, which I confirmed I was. And then we get:

MrsMC: The race goes past my friends house

Me: Sorry, dear?

MrsMC: It goes past a friends house. Geoff. At work. He lives on the race route in Sheffield.

Me: Does he really?

MrsMC: They’ve resurfaced the road for it and everything.

Me: Yes, they do that….

MrsMC: As he won’t be able to get out with the road closed he is having a few friends round to watch it. Don’t think any of them are really into it though.

Me:Well, lucky them…..

👿

Does she know you like bikes ?

So. irreconcilable differences then…

Geoff might be a nutter?

So she is not doing that thing women do when they know you really really like something but pretend they don’t know about it then surprise you at the last minute with something amazing?

Geoff earlier…

Lol @ jambourgie

She seems to be talking about Geoff an awful lot…

It must be like Ever Decreasing Circles in your how’s, Geoff this Geoff that 😆

New patio time! 😈

Patio’s too good just go for some strong ready mix and maybe build a new bike workshop on top with a massive television in it.

After she leaves you for Geoff you can go and see all the bicycle riding you want.

😆
Northwind , my thoughts exactly…….

Geoff is mocking you.

Hmm, brings to mind the foot massage scene from Pulp Fiction…….

How well do you know this Geoff?…..And are you a bad muthu ****?

Geoff doesn’t even exist, she’s messing with your mind.

2007, Sussex?
thought that one was only London + Kent (went almost right past my house on the way to Canterbury)

1994 went thru Hampshire+Sussex+Kent.

*waves*

The olympic road race went past my uncle geoff’s house.

If she’s leaving you for him you’ve got serious trouble; he’s nearly 70 with terrible arthritis and diabetes, which must make you a real munter.

2007 I crossed the border from Sussex into Kent. Like a covert ninja mission but in garish Lycra to blend in with the crowds.

Otherjonv – given that we have met in the real world, I resent that remark. 😐

Resent, but not deny 😉

Resemble mire than resent 🙁

That dialogue could have come from the pen of Samuel Beckett.

“Geoff”, eh? “Friend”, eh?

Any further updates on Geoff? I’ve not been able to sleep with all the tension.

I bet Geoff sleeps easy though

I had my brother ask if I was riding it when I told him I was going up to Yorkshire for the Tour de France. Never been sharpest tool…

I also have had someone ask me why I don’t enter the Tour.

I also have had someone ask me why I don’t enter the Tour.

Did you say “because I am a sprinter!” 😉
