Roadies We Were!!


Oscar and I had an adventure last Saturday - on a road bike!!!

And it was quite enjoyable.....(the dark side is taking me.......)














Punctures: 2 (Nascar) - we got help from a guy who did the Grand Raid 18 times!!!

Forgotten Tool Bags - Missile - doh - prepared and promptly fogotten.

New Bikes use - Missile - 1 of four I purchased on 5'th April !!

(Berthoud is selling all kinds of bikes really cheap!!)

Roadie Baiting....LOVE IT

I had fun last night ....all on my own. No not that kind of fun....!!

Anyway, couldn't make it to Veyrier on time, but did get time for a quick ride - on my RIP.

Picked up roadie 1 just outside my house... but I had saddle issues so he went ahead.

I almost caught up with him as we turned onto the Cheserex road

Two more roadies went by on the main road as we turned on it follow them.

I really had to work against the wind to finally join the peloton.

One of the roadies noticed me....picked up speed immediately, his friend followed.

I couldn't stay with them and they took a 50m lead BUT...on the entrance into Cheserex

I put the pedal to the metal on the slight descent, caught them up and sailed straight past them.....

I heard frantic gear changes....but they couldn't catch me....I held the lead until Gingins

where we went separate ways....so they technically didn't overtake me ;-)

Heart rate was of the scale but bating 3 roadies in one 'hit' was just too good to pass by.

Still smiling now.....loved it.
