Some old bike picsAfter my verbal intercourse with young Valentino, I had a look for some bike trip pictures. Here's a couple from the second trip we went on to the Champagne region. I've just remembered that the pictures from the first trip to Belgium, France and Holland are on film and I think are back in the UK. They were also on a disposable camera so the quality is not good.

No this was the Champagne tour and these are in France. Are you sure you haven't had another bump on the head? It's us oldies who are supposed to have the bad memories.

That tour was bobbins, I tried to foget it asap. Its why me and G rode back first light. Caned it back to calais in shy of an hour. The girls face on the exit gate for the toll was a picture, pointed to the 2 police men on the other side and gave us some new tickets - nice!

I should stay well away from France, the farmer's union and the police will be after your scalp.

Listen, in that time you would have come up with a book of biblical proportions surrounding excuses as to why you were having to "take it easy", "pull over", "my gear shif isn't working", "my wheel has gone out of balance"
Then you would order a bucket of muscles and complain when that is what you got ANd you had to crack them open. That was a priceless moment
