Ok, this is self-indulgent and very tossery, but I just haffta share.swampy1970 said:..... just to rub salt in the wounds?
The other day I knew I'd over-oiled my chain, so I took a rag with me on my ride to give it a bit of a clean if **** started spraying all over my shiny, steel Cervelo.
During me ride, I passed a couple of D-graders, and quickly noticed they couldn't hold my wheel, despite their best efforts (and 'turn-working'), even though I was only going about 2/3 pace into a pretty strong headwind (maybe they'd done 150km -- who knows?).
Anyhoo, I turned around and saw that I'd opened a gap of about 30m, even though they appeared to be smashing themselves, so I couldn't resist: as I kept opening the gap more and more, I pulled out the rag and started cleaning my bike, including the chain, while still pedalling
Good story, hey!
