I saw one of those self-help book tapes once called "overcoming procrastination" - you culd send it
back for a refund if it hadn't made a difference in 90 days. Obviously, if you got round to sending
it back..... well, I think you can see the irony.

Canibalism and the wrong choice of wine somewhat less shocking than even having thoughts involving
"rec*mbent tr*ke" and "t*ur d'*tape".

Pork/Bacon apparently (long pig and all that)

Might I suggest curing the leg separately, serving it baked with a honey glaze and morello
cherries (possibly a dash of cinnamon and some cloves), a fine cumberland sauce, and a good claret
to wash it down?

I fear muscles honed for cycling the Étape may be a tad tough, so alternative recipes may need to be
sought.....

Anyone got Dr Lecter's phone number?

Could be sillier, at least as a first impression. May have actually been the designer, but someone
took a Thys recumbent rowing bike all around the whole TdF route last year...

Was that careful choice of the letters asterisked out? I only ask as at first glance I was sure you
were talking about "turd tape" and now my mind is boggling as to what that might be. A low cost
alternative to Immodium perhaps? "Take one strip and apply firmly to the affected orifice."

....sorry

I tend to agree with this if finances are really tight (when are they ever not...) strip down the
tourer... replace parts with lighter ones where budget will allow.

Keep training too

Yes I guess using the tourer is the sensible option, although I expected better from you lot Mind
you I mentioned this option to my wife last night and she said "Oh no, if you are going to do it
you'll need a nice road bike".

Cheers,

Andy

Much as I promote the (cough) 26" wheel tourer option for many many things, I don't think I'd try a
tour d'etape on one unless making a point about such bikes. Bad enough trying to tell bike shops in
france that you tour on such wheels.

>Mind you I mentioned this option to my wife last night and she said "Oh no, if you are going to do

They might have a point - you do say you want to have a go at racing, so a racing bike would b
logical. But OTOH isn't the tour d'etape more or less a fast audax than a race?

You'll have to do the equivalent of a few audaxes on your training anyway, so perhaps try them on
your existing bike.

Sounds like a sensible plan. I'm not 40 until September 2004 so I'll probably wait until 2004
to do the Etape, which means that I could do a few Audax events on my tourer this year to see
how I get on.

Cheers,

Andy

That works in fantasy as well. In my head I own a couple of Roberts' and a Windcheetah.

True, but I think when she said that I should get a nice road bike she had in mind selling the
Windcheetah. Actually I dare say I could just buy a nice road bike and I'd get away with it. But I'm
afraid that even I think buying two expensive bikes for messing around on in consecutive years (with
a baby inbetween) is a bit extravagent. Maybe fatherhood is making me soft.

Cheers,
