Mrs Bedlamite asked me a while after, "How did you know it was Graham?"

I replied that it wasn't the old goretex jacket or the weird riding style but the Celeste....

I'm a cyclist through and through...

Lovely to have a chat!

What joy! No traffic! Well except for the occasional quad bike.

Could life get any better you may wonder?

Well yes because whom should I meet in the berserk, bedlam of Bradley but...Mrs & Mrs FRA Forum (+ black labrador), aka Mrs & Mrs Bedlamite, aka Mr & Mrs Race Organisers par excellence.

Fortunately I was on the Bianchi so was a vision of loveliness, and thinking of that; it occurred to me that in over 6000 miles I have never had a mechanical (ah! that's Campagnolo for you) and only one puncture (when I just walked to the railway station and went home by train) so why do I carry "stuff" with me "just in case..."

Just in case of what exactly?
