NONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ON THIS TOUR READ MY FRIDAY POST THAT IT WOULD BE A SLOW TOUR. SO, IN CONSEQUENCE, IT WASN'T. I BROUGHT ALONG MY SLOW BIKE WITH MUDGUARDS AND A BACK CARRIER AND VERY SOON REALISED THAT THE TOUR LEADER  (POD) WAS IN THE HUMOUR FOR BIG HILLS AND DIRT TRACKS. WE ENDED UP AT BOOKIES WHERE A CHAP REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE FOUR SEPERATE VERBAL GREETINGS……….POOR CHAP WAS GOING OUR WAY TOO AND PASSED US OUT QUITE A FEW TIMES ON HIS TRI-BIKE…….LOUSY CLIMBER, SLIGHTLY BETTER ON THE FLAT……..ALL THE WAY TO RATHDRUM HE KEPT US COMPANY AS WE CHATTED AMONGST OURSELVES AND ADMIRED HIS " POWER-HUB" THAT WAS RECORDING HIS LACK OF WATTS!!! AMAGINE SPENDING €900 ON A DEVICE THAT TOLD YOU YOU WERE USELESS! DEAR , OH DEAR. ANYWAY THIS CHAP WILL OF COURSE ACKNOWLEDGE THE FRIENDLY GREETINS OF HIS FELLOW TRAVELLERS IN FUTURE. SURE IN RATHDRUM HE GOT OF HIS BIKE TO COLLAPSE AND SAID "YOUSEAREASHOWEROFFKINARSEHOLES"……WELL AT LEAST THAT'S A REPLY AND A START ON THE ROAD TO CORDIAL INTER-ACTION AND WE, THE AFOREMENTIONED, ARE HAPPY TO HELP  WE TOO STOPPED, FOR COFFEE AND A VERY CHILDISH AND ENJOYABLE G&G (GIGGLE AND GLOAT) YES ! THE BOYS WERE IN FINE FORM. JUST IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING WHERE THE TOUR WENT NEXT………WELL IT GOT VERY FOGGY AND I COULD NOT FOCUS PROPERLY, I JUST FOLLOWED WHEELS, SAID VERY LITTLE (BLOODY MIRACLE -YOU SAY) AND BEFORE I KNEW IT, I WAS HOME, SITTING UP IN BED WITH A CUP OF TEA ………….WONDERING HOW WAS I GOING TO GO OUT TO "THE PARTY" THAT NIGHT……….I ASK YOU WHAT DID I EVER DO TO DESERVE TO FEEL THIS SHATTERED?………..KIND, CONSIDERATE, CARING ME……COME ALONG NEXT WEEK AND SHARE IN THE JOYS AND BRING ALONG YOUR HEAVY WINTER BIKES ……..GO ON, GO ON, GO ON
