A 'Mint' Stage

[Richard A Thackeray]

This has turned up on one of my FaceBook feeds, fromtodays stage, & l feel duty bound to share it

With using a mixture of iPhone & (a temperamental) iPad, at the moment it's awkward to link items properly

So... I've copied the picture instead, l wonder if any of the. British riders noticed it, & realised what it was??

Quite brilliant though!!!

Your iWhatsit must be more temperamental than you thought, no pic

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Yes.

I thought it had copied across

At 2.2K to go, someone had taken the time to draw Mint Sauce (the biking Sheep) on the road!!!!

It's in todays uploads to the 'Mint Sauce' FaceBook page

This?

Never seen it before.

On a separate note, many years ago when I were but a lad I was cycling in Glen Clova, shouting "mint sauce!" at sheep as I went past them in the fields...not long after a few of them walked out in front of a car; the car braked, I wasn't quite as quick and ended up ploughing into the back window. I still have the scars.

That's the one!

Originally in Bicycling magazine, then the cartoon transferred to MBUK, as a full page -usually colour- in every issue
There were calendars each year, t-shirts, etc.....


Read the strips & reminisce

Got a few of the calendars, my brother worked for the publishers editing a sister magazine. Great cartoons; never come across any others that have quite that mix of humour, storytelling, poignancy, surrealism and affirmation as well as brilliant artwork.

I used to see JohnStevenson a lot, & Brant Richards too
Both of them worked in Two Wheels Good in Leeds (JS was the Saturday boy!)
They also shared a house up in Headingley, and another tenant there (or regular visitor) was Deb Murrell - the 1990s diminutive powerhouse of a MTB racer

I also had, at the time, mutual friends, with JS


Plus, Marcus, an old friend of mine also worked for a sister publication of MBUK

There were a few "mint sauced" in the old Milk Race days, and in plenty of races since where sheep are on unfenced moors....when rider hits sheep, rider gets a bashing. When race car hits sheep, 1-0 to the race.
