Cycling terms - how do you pronounce?

[Shut Up Legs]

I have a very 'pronounced aching in my legs, because it was exceptionally windy this week, so I'm glad it's Saturday. How do you pronounce "My legs are b#ggered"?

Hah, they've left the past historic tense out! I can't remember how it goes though :il randonna....nous randonnâmes...ils randonassent, summat like that.

They included the pluperfect subjunctive! They would have randonneured?

C'est improbable qu'ils randonassent? Incidentally I was wrong about there not being a past historic, it's just that they've called it the indicatif passé simple. I should have said ils randonnèrent. Though it's not the kind of thing that anyone would have ever written.

You have muddled up your pluperfect subjunctive with your (imperfect) subjunctive. An easy mistake to make, I know.
subjonctif plus-que-parfait
j'eusse randonné
tu eusses randonné
il/elle eût randonné
nous eussions randonné
vous eussiez randonné
ils/elles eussent randonné

subjonctif imparfait
je randonnasse
tu randonnasses
il/elle randonnât
nous randonnassions
vous randonnassiez
ils/elles randonnassent

Merde! How would I say ''it's unlikely that they were randonneering?''

...the tense 'Future Perfect' has been abandoned, as it was discovered not to be.

@deptfordmarmoset

It is a bit late in the day early in the morning for me to answer that.

The only subjunctive that I would use on a regular basis, is probably the present subjunctive.

If we had perfect, tense would undermine it.

subjonctif présent
je randonne
tu randonnes
il/elle randonne
nous randonnions
vous randonniez
ils/elles randonnent

Je ne fais pas du vélo maintenant parce que j'ai peur que je randonne my asse

There are a lot of cycling terms I don't know how to pronounce because I only read them and am too lazy and ignorant to know, care or try to find out. I rarely talk to people about cycling but in the rare event that I do, I will sometimes say these terms anyway, my way, seriously and with a straight face. I do it for fun to just see how people respond. Most won't laugh too much but smile a little and correct me, which is fine and I actually do appreciate it. I think some realize I was having a go at them anyway. Last time was when I went into the Trek dealer and said "Do have any Trek Domains in stock?" .

I can't pronounce my own bicycle!
Do I ride a Jamis (as in strawberry) or a Jaymis?
