The wind was a bitch yesterday.<BR/><BR/>Hope Mr Sticky pulls up ok. And I was sure he was one of the good 'uns.. but the bad ones... riding 5 a breast across the Highway, swerving and weaving. It's a wonder some of them wern't killed.<BR/><BR/>And how FAB are those tomatoes???purple goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205284829507903435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537734033723164207.post-25395497497497380322007-10-22T10:50:00.000+10:002007-10-22T10:50:00.000+10:00GO!!! the simply green tomatoes.GO!!! the simply green tomatoes.grocerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860154539429230909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537734033723164207.post-76574533832899223312007-10-22T09:49:00.000+10:002007-10-22T09:49:00.000+10:00Excellent photos. We must stop in some time.You're...Excellent photos. We must stop in some time.<BR/><BR/>You're right, as in all walks of life there are bike riders and there are wankers on bikes. Mr Stickyfingers is aware of the second category and avoids them like the plague. They all get tarred with the same brush though and hoons love to play chicken with them, which scares me to death.<BR/><BR/>The event raises $500 000 for The Smith Family which is why he does it. The lycra is worn because it is padded in the right places and has lots of pockets across the back for stowing sustenance etc. It's the lightest most wind resistant clothing you can wear which makes it easier when covering long distances - you don't want extra weight like back packs etc. The clip-clop shoes take some of the stress off your legs when pedaling - though he wears mountain bike ones which look more like runners.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday was hell, riding into a 35km north wind at 34degrees he came home after 256km of riding with heat exhaustion, bad sunburn and was trembling, vomiting & delirious. I had to put ice packs all over him and toss aspirin and Gastrolyte down his gob - the poor love. He didn't think to pull out because if he hadn't finished the extra fundraising money would have been forfeited. <BR/><BR/>On weighing himself we found that he had lost a stone in the process, I shall take great joy in feeding him up.stickyfingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861830835308131738noreply@blogger.com
