Still so crushed... veteran?... that today I could not leave the house for agonising between Mercatone Uno - Bianchi - Girmi or St Raphael - Geminiani - quinquina. Eventually I settled for my reserve top - a plain yellow one. To even own a yellow top might be thought presumptious or worse - but I only bought it in a Sale as a reserve top.Originally Posted by mr brightside
Anyway after all my angst I only had time for a 23 mile ride although I did find almost 2000 feet of climb. On the winding descent down to Eastby near Skipton a BMW overtook me (ha!) and then had to keep braking for all the curves so I found myself doing 38 mph rather too close to his rear bumper. I did think of giving him a cheery wave to encourage him to get a move on but then thought he might decide instead to suddenly test his brakes and I might find myself joining him in the front passenger seat by way of the rear view window to continue the conversation.
Even with newly-sandpapered Campagnolo brake blocks.
