|
|
After 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.

More lunch (Who'se the geek in the black and blue jacket?)  |

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.  |

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 |
