Ah this place is a gold-mine! Clingfilm under the overshoes, noted. Smart and cheap. I think it might just have been a strap done up too tightly on my shoe! It is pretty mild here, double digits in the sun, so I was a little surprised. Only on one side, which is even more odd. Was one foot colder??
Momentum -- pm'd you.
Even more surreal, the guy must have been 75-80, and was dawdling along at shopper pace. I hate to accuse a mystery bike shop of fleecing him, but he had about 4 grands worth of bike under him, to help him do 10mph. Nuts. I also overtook a guy on what looked like a team issue look time trial frame, carbon loveliness. Felt a bit smug until he shot past me having warmed up :( Spotted a fixenger with a beard skidding into moving traffic a la alleycat, too. Fun and games.
TheBrick(Tommy) -- yeah, I was quite hungry after that short ride, so I think something hefty will be required, even if it's just a service station pasty or six. Don't think they sell pasties in France, though. Croque-monsieur or whatever.
