The Biggest Sacrifice You've Made !!!

[gezza]

i am giving up a freebie weekend,an all expenses paid trip,first class on Eurostar,4* hotel , all food ,drinks ,priority passes etc to Disneyland Paris so that i can train for the etape this year

whats the biggest sacrifice you've made either in cycling or in general ??

 

[fossyant]

Go to Disney..................have you got kids ?

 

[gezza]

No,i dont have kids

my friend does freelance travel write-ups for a national newspaper and is being invited along with loads of journalists(who i am reliably informed are females) to the launch of some new rides at disneyland and is allowed to take someone,he asked me,but i have had to turn down

i did suggest to him at first to take someone of the opposite sex,but alas he couldnt find anyone

 

[fossyant]

Well get some big rides in before and after the break..... get a day or two off work...go out there knackered...the walking/g-force will do you OK - don't pass up good opportunities.... fit it in.......

 

[Aperitif]

Yes - do it you nutter! Ride at night to make up for it...

Mr Surf gave me his backstage ticket for a Radio One gig in Cardiff about ten years back. I got to oogle Robbie Williams and the Manics and he got a peaceful night at home. I followed the gig up by going to the Manics signing at Virgin and got home at 3am and woke him up as I was so excited at having met my idols.

I hope you're not looking for reassurance that you've done the right thing.
Because you haven't.
sorry!

Someone made a big sacrifice for me once. But it would be waaaaayy tooo heavvvvy for this thread

please don't say the lord jesus

Gezza you....grrrr..jeepers if anyone needs a slap across the napper right now it's you.. The etape is in July. Giving up one weekend ages before is not going to ruin your preperation for the etape. You only get chances of a major freebie once, so take it!

Robbie Fukcing Williams is one of your idols? Crikey. I would count attending a Robbie Fukcing Williams gig as a pretty big sacrifice. Or even hearing more than, ooh, two and a half seconds of one of "his" songs on the radio.

In my defence I was a young thing of nineteen.
There is no way I would go oogling nowadays. No. Not me. You won't catch me at it. No. Not now. Never.

 

[Dave5N]

You don't do it or you're careful not to get caught?

She's just told you that she does still do it................read the signs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I once cut off my nose to spite my face .

I must agree with the sentiments expressed -one missed ride won't make any difference to the etape
