Nice day for a bike ride

[Wafflycathcsdir]

CCBreckland, the local club had a nice event on today. A 4-up training + tea & cakes event The
club are a nice bunch, so Vernon, Nathan & I have joined up. Nathan has a lot of homework this
weekend, so it was just Vernon & I who went along today. We took our bikes & we pootled round - more
to the point *I* pootled round & Vernon kept me company. Others pootled and yet others took it a tad
more seriously

A 13 mile circuit and it was *lovely* - almost perfect cycling weather - cold, bright, relatively
little wind. Nice cycling apart from pr*t cager who came up behind Vernon & I on a blind bend, with
him going way too fast & the squeal of his brakes as narrowly avoinded hitting my rear end and he
overtook both Vernon and me on a blind bend, *with a car coming in the opposite direction* - the
pr*t cager squealed brakes & tyres as he *just* managed to avoid hitting me, Vernon & oncoming car.
With a bit of luck, he'll wrap himself around a tree really soon, without hurting anyone else in the
process, but doing the human gene pool an enormous favour by removing his DNA from it.

The cyclists doing the circuit sort of *seriously* were very encouraging, and whenever one came up
behind fatbirdonabike, I received comments of encouragement, which was really nice

Got to the end - mind you the last bit up the slope out of Hingham to Scoulton and I was doing a bit
of "Where is that &*!"$XX village hall?" in my brain - but I have to say, I enjoyed the day. Very
civilised, very friendly, with tea & cakes at the end! What more could fatbirdonabike want on a nice
day to cycle!

Cheers, helen s

Grrrrrrrrr! Windy down here. First stretch of my afternoon spin was too easy to be true with the
wind on my back - effortlessly zooming down the dual carriageway. Then of course I got the full
brunt of the wind on the long slow grind home through town.

Nice and sunny though. I'm sure I looked well cool in my green shades - along with my blue
balaclava-as-hat and yellow jacket ;-)

..giggle again. I have this sort of animated gif picture in my mind, flickering between two possible
Helens. One is, if suitably poured into clothes, bomb-shaped. She has a few humanoid features
laminated on. On a bike, she resembles Potty Putty that's been left for a while, floorward droop,
purple colour, and all. She probably has a brave smile and counts her blessings firmly, every night.

The other alternative is, more or less, standard human shaped, only fitter. The sort that the
luckier men on this group snuggle up to on a fairly regular basis, and the rest of us can only dream
about. This second Helen compares her shape, unfavourably, to that of Lara Croft. She therefore has
terminally low self-esteem. Hence these terribly, terribly sad, self-deprecating postings.

For the first Helen, only philosophy can be recommended. I'm worried about the second one, which
seems in a fair way to worrying herself into a suicidal decline. Helen, could you open
Schrodinger's Box for us? Put a couple of pix of yourself somewhere accessible? Not, you know,
anything exciting. I do realize that this isn't that sort of a group. For example, if you have
thighs and a 'tache like Guy Chapman, perhaps you could do us all the favour of hiding them?
They're horrible enough on the original owner.(1) But I wonder if the more experienced judges of
female pulchritude around here could be assembled to reassure you that, actually, you can face your
mirror with pride. And cycling pensioners with a certain sly wink. Lechers, every one of them. _I_
know why they're all chasing you.

Yours in breathless anticipation.

We like fat birds. Especially Tux[1].

Ye gads! You've seen me at the end of cycling today! Where was that hidden camera! ;-)

Well I do have a lot to be thankful for im my life, so yes, I tend to count my blessings - there's a
lot worse of than me in many ways

Nah - I'll let you in on a secret - many of we women compare our shapes unfavourably to that of Lara
Croft, but we don't have low self-esteem because of it I do, however, have absolutely no problem
finding humour and taking the mickey out of self

B*gger ;-P And here was me thinking all these fit blokes on this NG were going to be posting jpgs of
their muscular bulging thighs ;-)

I actually don't have any pics of me on me bike - indeed I don't have any of me taken recently!
Honest! Well, not unless Vernon's been taking any secretly! I never did get round to getting copies
of the ones taken by the photographer for the Mail. I should chase that up.

I use Immac, so I don't have a dead mouse residing below my nose

Actually, I have a darned good reason why I cycle slowly and breathe heavily - it's possibly got
something to do with the sight of Vernon's rear in Lycra - a *fine view* It also means I can ogle
the finely honed, muscular rears of any other fit male who happens to cycle past me - mind you, not
one has an a*se that matches Vernon's - but perhaps I am a tad biased in my opinion.

Fear not, I'm not about to top myself just because I don't have the build of Lara Croft, well, apart
from the bazoomas - mine enter a room several minutes before the rest of me ;-) I do, however, have
a sense of humour about being more than a size 10/12.
