Many thanks, everyone! It was easier to write than to ride, believe me.
In the end I think my time was something like 28 mintes 10, or there abouts. That return five miles knocked fuck out of everyone!

You should do another TT, Luci! (says someone who's never done one)

I think not, @hats - I prefer to ride my bike for pleasure, not pain!

I felt like I was racing with you!

This. My feet were ghost pedalling towards the end. Nice one Luci.

Cheers @rhb!

Properly enjoyed that one Luci.

brilliant

It might be my first, proper cycling story on the blog. Not bad after 6 years or so!

That was superb. I love reading your stories luci, I save them for my tea break so I have something to look forward to!

Tea break, poo break, drug break, whatever break! Glad you like 'em @matteroftaste.

Idiot.
(That goes for any other TTers reading this too.)

I agree.
It was a joyless experience.

There we have it. Back full circle to the bog wanking again.

A pedant writes:

They only ride one gear – 72 inches. That means one full rotation of the pedal will propel the bike for 72 inches along the road.

Not quite - a 72in gear is equivalent to riding an Ordinary with a 72in diameter wheel, so one revolution would be 72*pi=226in.

That doesn't flow as nicely though ... really liked it anyway.

You live and learn! You are dead right - the crank rotation was measured on the day and came within the allowance, which turns out to be 18ft 10 inch & a quarter. On the day I was too shit scared to notice!
Thanks for pointing that out, @jsabine!

It's Friday!

Here's a new post to help lubricate your day to clocking off time.

I'm kind of sad you didn't go in for 'whatever',it would have made an awesome story if you lived to tell the tale!

I could just imagine Vic clbing on board. He's the fucker who ear raped me that time...

Excellent!

Little typos

while I stand at the side off the ring road

I sit in quite despair and watch shards

sweet from my leg and breath through

I’ve saved a couple on quid bus fair

I'm not 100% sure it was a coffee that was on offer Luci!

Totally coffee.

Lucy should defeinitely look them up and pop round for a cuppa. Plenty of harmless fun.

Too typo spotting! I'll get on 'em after the school run.

I don't think it was coffee they were offering either.
Whatever it was, it might have had a devastating effect on my back end. Vic is weird like that...

P.S Does anyone buy porn anymore? Surely that's not a thing these days...

Yeah, I was in my local newsagents picking up a newspaper and some guy actually said "excuse me" as he reached over me to grab a top shelf mag.

My gast was totally flabbered. He spoke to people, made eye contact and bought porn while there was other people in the shop. Clearly a dangerous sort of lunatic.
