Thats the sucker! Although the backdrop in BC is a touch nicer than the A20 cutting through the South Downs towards the Channel Tunnel!

Did that one mock you Rando? what am I talking about, you are the constant voice of reason with no room for one to mock!

The little bugger emigrated!

It's funny how this topic comes up on all forums. I used the same photo on another site to illustrate the interesting characters you can meet along the way. Even taunting barnyard animals have a story to tell.

Here in BC, we do however try to keep conversations with bears, cougars and rampaging moose short and sweet.

On my century today, I wanted the last 30 miles to pass more quickly than I was capable of making them go ... but I was never bored!

Do you think all these 'spinners' will venture on the road when summer arrives. ?

Sort of related...was buying a ticket at Harrogate station over Christmas, the British Rail guy noticed I had a bike and got talking. He said he didn't have a regular bike, but used his exercise bike alot and in fact burnt off nearly 4000 cals on it one day. I'm thinking jesus that's like 80 miles or something, so I asked him how long it took, "oh, 4 or 5 hours". I never quite got around to saying it, but thought "just buy a proper bloody bike for christ sake and get out the house". I wonder how he kept occupied on it, guess he just plonked it in front of the TV.

I bet it is a short conversation! my average speed always picks up as I pass the local zoo as they are 'infamous' for misplacing animals! There branch down the road recently set free around 20 african wild dogs!
