I thoroughly appreciated the sartorial elegance demonstrated by those on the ride.
I was rather shocked though by others on the road, wearing frightfully revealing, lurid, tight fitting outfits and had to enquire of these people what the blazes they were wearing.
It was the skin of dead Lycras. I was not aware such beasties existed, though believe we must now start a campaign to protect them. None of my agricultural rural friends have ever mentioned them before, so clearly they are not pests akin to a fox or wild boar.
Any further rides should be organised to raise awareness of the fate of these poor animals, clearly being slaughtered in droves to satisfy these cads who wish to race in an unbecoming fashion.
In memory of ononetweedster I believe "Tally Ho-Mo" ought to be the greeting for other tweedsters.
