Morning has broken, and little real pain in the legs - a phenomenon shared by BNUT and the Howester. We'll have to save the feeling, as I suspect the pain may kick in a few days into the ride.
I have a tale of an Old Duffer to relate - not about Oakley or Brownie for a change.
As I mentioned in a previous blogette, the Howester paid sorely for his pint of Strongbow at the lunch stop yesterday, and was struggling with tired legs towards the end. We plied him with nuts, raisins, Mars bars, Nutrigrain energy bars - all to little avail.
Cue embarrassment as an invigorator.
Having turned after seeing off Lous, we were idling back up towards Cranfield. We were then passed by an Octogenarian on a Raleigh - complete with Tweeds and bike clips! Muffled disbelief from the Howester - mirth from the Flame as the Mustachioed knight of the velocipede pulled away.
Predictably, the Howester summoned one last effort and saw off the Ventolin inhaling First World War veteran - his ejaculation of a triumphant yell echoing throughout the Marston Vale!

I have posted this photo of the cyclist - Malcolm Simmonds - who has himself posted the story on his blog site www.istuffedthehowester.com/ridelikeagirl - please feel free to visit and post comments of derision.
