what you can’t see is how the frame was butchered to fit them.

Haha Captain

Old cycling club mate of my parents Bill, was left behind in France after the BEF withdrew. Managing to evade capture and was taken in by a French family, they used the cover story that he was a cousin from another part of France.

Over a period of time he was taught to speak fluent French, and the resistance arranged false papers for him to make his way down to Spain.

Having made is way across occupied France he reached Vichy France, reaching a town not far from the border, where failing to find the safe house he asked a police man for directions. Even with his flawless French the office then said “Your from Birmingham”.

Tuned out he has spent some time before the war in the midlands so recognised the accent. Copper turned him in and he spent the rest of the war in a POW camp.

When he died (and that was a story in its self) there was a deputation from the French resistance organisation at his funeral

Coming back from injury a portly 61miles

to sum it up 😀

Thatcham (well Benham Hill to be exact)to Reading easly done as a commute by bike.
My dad did it every day for a many a year.

Out of a club of 300 members, in the last couple of years, we can normally find only 2 or 3 people interested in entering the event. Big shame when the event is on our door step.

damit.. my memory is failing me, but one climber (the one I can’t remember, from the 30’s/40’s/50’s) said, ‘the lead climber does not fall’.

It is told that it took 5 policemen to arrest him.
4 to hold him down and 1 to hit him.

Extra hardman point at work 😀

Enduro Windchill, works for me up to the extream cold.

I think we’ve also forgotten one big driver that went missing from Jessops

I was in my local Jesops last week end buying a new camera, while I was there, there was a student dropping off his B/W film for development, process time 7+ days. Where does that poor sod stand?

The issue doesn’t seem to be confined just to cyclists, I lost count of the number of motorists driving in the fog without lights, and theirs are permanently fitted, requiring only a flick of the switch.Something else i’ve noticed about dull grey conditions on dull grey roads is that most cars without lights are also a shade of dull grey that blends them in very nicely, anybody else noticed this?

from my observation it’s a ratio of 1:8, for every person you see on a bike without lights.

So you don’t mean these milk snatchers then..

In the words of Doc McCoy.. ‘It’s dead Jim’

Went out for a ride with all the intention of getting some good photos for day one. Then once I found a suitable subject to photograph I discovered that the battery in my camera was flat 😳

the now show on siri

Ha yes Don.. it is told that it took 5 police men to arrest him.
4 to hold him down and 1 to hit him…
But this may just be part of the legend.:D

Not good news when my local Nam ‘residents association’ is demanding that I store my bike in a shitty tin shed.. when their idea of a expensive bike is £50 😥

Coincidence bunnyhop, I’ve just been watching the 700th sky at night on youtube, where that fact was also mentioned.
