[Enso108]

I was discussing with a mate yesterday about taking cake and toilet breaks on a long ride, I said I perfer to keep going rather than stop. He reaconed I should this..

I'd never heard of that being done before, I think I need to practice on the turbo for a while first.

Charly Gaul (Lux), who won the TdF in 1958, is credited with "developing" the technique of peeing on the fly, so to speak. He was for a time nicknamed M. Pee-Pee. The old wool shorts were not so skin tight as today Lycra so there was less risk of strangling the flow!

Funnily enough riders seem to do it to the right, risking wetting the chain, rather than the LHS. Bet the mechanics have moan on occasions.

What about a long catheter and tie it off at the bottom bracket

How do you have a shoot?

I recall reading a tale about a fan at a TdF grabbing a peaked cap that a passing rider had discarded and finding a turd in it. I don't recall if he retained the souvenir!

Don't joke. There have been instances of riders in the big tours carrying on despite stomach problems. All other riders tended to give them a very wide berth.

poor tom simpson, on the last stage before the fatal ventoux, left his mechanic harry hall with a bit of a clean-up job. probably a hose would have sufficed.

As I recall Greg Lemond continued to ride on (at Least) one occasion while suffering from diarrhoea ! Or so legend has it

Simpson once took a cap from Colin Lewis to have a shoot in. I don't think Lewis asked for it back.

Impressive bike handling skills. I do not think I could do it, even if I wanted to.

The thought of going over the bars with Big Jim and The Twins hanging out...

Steve Hodge (Aus), used to ride for Fetina, told the tale of doing a No2s into a hat, it may have been his!
