Mildenhall

[Wafflydirtycatl]

Called into the Mildenhall Cycling Rally this evening. Checked out the cycle jumble - the place was
*heaving* even more than my bosums, hence it was extremely claustrophobic, so I ducked out of it.
Met some cycling friends. Team Whelan were there. Pete is on the mend, but he's still looking a tad
fragile. Hope he heals 100% soon.

Prob will go back tomorrow to view some grass track racing & the trade stands.

Cheers, helen s

No-one carrying paving slabs was seen today, so how else may the hoi-polloi identify you?

Having gone there in company with the Cambridge Dark-side I can assure you that we may be "bent",
but we have no need for padded garments of any length!

Well today John (of ICE) said, "Are you Helen?" He recognised me from the newsgroup - I must look
like a computer screen ;-)

Were you wearing a yellow Randonee T? Spotted what may have been the front of Vernon and Nathan's
heads - only ever seen a picture of the back of their heads - and someone in a yellow T but too far
away to communicate. No black eyes or paving slabs seen though

Surely you'd just need to look out for those heaving bazooma's??

Went there today, viewed the grass track racing and trade stands and got some marital advice as
well: "If she won't ride it, she'll have to go" said the Gearshift man, as I expressed hesitation at
taking up his offer on a tandem frame in case my wife wouldn't join me on it! Amazing what you can
get at cycle rallies, really. If only life were so simple ;-).

The Unfit Family went back today too. Vernon & Nathan did their CC breckalnd Open 10 mile TT this
morning, during which Nathan acquired some new road rash & had his chain come off. Nathan expressed
a desire to go back to Mildenhall (but not doing the 70 mile round trip by bike as he did yesterday)
and Vernon had a desire to hit the trade stands. Ended up coming back with a new yellow Briko winter
long sleeve jersey for me & some black Lusso shorts. Nathan & Vernon got some overshoes for winter.
Nathan got a new helmet - a Briko twinner for £30, instead of - well, I've seen them priced at
anything from £60 - £99 on the Net. Nathan is well pleased with his new helmet (a *proper* one,
according to him) as reward for getting a GCSE 2 years early.

Of course, as we motored home Vernon decided to be a wag by saying to me, "Pity ICE were packing up,
darling, I was just about to wander over & order you a trice in pearly pink... really, I was, but
the guys had just about packed up." Yeah, right - and I'm a size 10...

I saw the 'Fat Bird on a Bike' stand and thought of you ;-).

You should sue them for trademark infringement!

No, you're right. I've got one of their leaflets. There you go, you see. I've become so accustomed
to the phrase 'fat bird on a bike', that I see it even when it's something else about fat birds!
Anyway I bet they only changed it to '..don't fly' because they knew you'd already taken the
expression '.. on a bike'!

Not wrong at all. There's plenty of take-off room across the Wash.
