        Ah!

        Possibly because I don't own a single article of lycra...

        I find natural fibre breathes so much better ... and is anyway preferred by my tailor.

              We have The Brighton Naked Bike!

              A lovely, gorgeous day, down these parts today. Good for The South of England Show, weather wise. :)

                You didn' t put up much of a fight about the MA part of Mamil, Cals.

                Lovely down here, but my men on the coast tell me storms are heading our way.

                      Forgive me for prolonging this subject, but can someone tell me why it is ok for a multitude of cyclists to get their kit off but not, apparently for Mr Stephen Gough (aka the Naked Rambler) who's been arrested numerous times, to do the same?

                      Puzzled.

                        Recently incipient but now persistent precipitation down here in the SW! Coming to a venue near youse all shortly?

                          Because they pass by quick so you don't get much chance to look?

                          Anyway, I would have thought covering up makes cyclists more aerodynamic...

                            I had an email from marthe who sends her best wishes to the Board. She and her husband are well and busy but they had ‘a dreadfully cold spring’. Marthe also sends her deepest sympathy to gamba’s family, and hopes that salymap is well cared for and comfortable.

                            Apologies for cross-threading (ds)

                            Down here in Kent, there must have been quite a downpour in the night which hadn’t been forecasted. This usually happens after I spend hours watering the garden.

                              Only one conclusion to be drawn from that DS......
