I will not go to the Mountain this Year.
I made the promise that I would be riding in the bloggers Mt Ventoux charity ride this year. Alas, it is not to be. I injured my bum about two months ago in an ill-advised fairground incident. As a friend of mine said, “what were you thinking of, that NASA had a talent scout hidden in the crowd?”
As a consequence I have been on the bike, once maybe twice since then, and it has not been very pleasant. Now, real cyclists would say “No Pain, No Gain”, but to quote an old Fusco Brothers comic “No Pain, No Way!” Not really, but I do not see the point in attempting what would be a demanding ride for me while in poor physical shape.
I am sorry not to be riding with Sig and Thomas, both of whom will be there, and to miss the party afterwards at Sig’s. I guess I will just have to be a sponsor, and ride next time.
Join me in sponsoring here, and good luck guys!
