Anyway, here's a new distraction: the first TNRC quiz!!!
Question 1: You're at the back of the group. A bloke in a car is sitting impatiently behind you. You...
A: Let him fucking sit there, and maybe give him the finger for good measure.
B: Shout "single up!", move towards the verge, and wait for him to pass.
C: Shout 'single up!", move towards the verge, and wave the driver through.
Question 2: You're feeling cooked. The group just keeps inching away. Every time they regroup, you arrive last and don't get time to recover properly before they set off again. You...
A: Tell the group you're knackered, in a really whiny voice.
B: Tell the group you're knackered, and ask if the overall pace can be made easier, or if a rider or two (who know the route) would be happy to ride at your pace till the end.
C: Make a superhuman effort, ride up into the middle of the bunch, then slow suddenly and weave with exhaustion before dropping off the back again.
**
Question 3: You've run out of food, and the water situation's not good. You know there are no shops for fucking miles. But you feel pretty good at the moment. You...**
A: Carry on because it's all about HingTFU, isn't it.
B: Tell someone in the group the situation, and accept the kind offers of food and drink.
C: Go past each rider in the group, snatching their bottles from their cages, and food from their pockets, and chucking it all in a ditch. This is a group thing. If one person's hungry and thirsty, then everyone else should be too.
