It started off as fun. A selfie and a pint. To celebrate the good weather. But surely its gone too far now! Between Facebook and WhatsApp we may well be giving the wrong impression.
This week we passed 1,000 Likes on Facebook. However “with great power comes great responsibility” particularly to the youth and our impressionable fellow cyclists.
I was going to say nothing until I saw the photo below. Peter Sagan! World Champion! Copying us! Having a Guinness with Jurgen Klupp (and I think Anthony). Even The Great Peter Sagan couldn’t resist the selfie. This has gone too far. We Must Stop Now! Before its Too Late.
Vincent got 100 lines tonight for accelerating out of corners. “I must not accelerate out of corners when Canice is at the back.” He’ll be writing all night. Youthful enthusiasm. Better than the leather anyway.
10 of us out in the first group. Beautiful evening for a spin. Anthony put up a lovely route which took us back over much of the Yellow Furze spin from last Sunday. My reminiscing proved too much for Dave however who turned for home at Wigger’s Cross. Either that or a bike problem.
One point worth noting was the lack of lights on the bikes. We are all around long enough at this stage to realise that evenings change and just because its bright when we set out doesn’t mean it will be bright on our return. Or if the sun is sinking ahead of us we are difficult to see.
Probably to do with saving weight and getting every advantage possible. Easier to just shave the legs. According to Anthony the ladies notice such things as well. Win win.
