What have you found while riding?

Oh had a think.
At the risk of more godly exclamations, i did on a folding bike trip up an apparent empty eu funded dead end facility realise that i had strayed into an italian gay dogging spot.

you worked in a soft porn archive?

I fear thread drift here - friends when I was young sometimes confessed to finding theirv dad's stash in the garage.

Might have explained their fondness for car/bike fettling.
edit - am intrigued by the posting home - were you such a dodgy cove that you were routinely searched on coming home?

I worked at the County Council, their archive was in the nuclear air raid shelter, I reckon the caretaker left his stash there as it wasn't really in much use and he had keys for everything. I didn't want to walk through the building with large brown envelopes of pron and the post room was nearer the archive than my office, plus I was first home so no questions at home from my parents about suspicious packages. Worked a treat.

My neighbour laying in a deep ditch "tired & emotional" after a heavy session on the calvados.

Raw. A guy I worked with did this but broke a rib in the process. The village was snowed in but he still decided to drive himself to A&E inebriated. He misdiagnosed himself as having a heart attack rather than a bust rib according to his wife. He crashed on a perfectly straight road and died soon after.

I found a new career - a long solo cycling trek I made through the Australian outback led to a three-part series in National Geographic and from there a twenty year career trotting the globe writing and shooting for the magazine.

I'd imagine it would get pretty boring down there. There was probably enough grot to get through a few years kicking your heals, especially if you read the articles.

Recently I found a pretty good Lezyne pump. I considered it fair exchange from the Fairy of Lost Things for the similar but not identical Lezyne pump that I had lost a couple of months earlier.

Stopping to put on my arm warmers on my Sunday ride, I spotted this curious jar by a farmer's gate. The message inside reads "Someone please p**s in here I'm thirsty. Thanks."

I didn't oblige.

A dead polish man, I didn't know at the time, he'd washed up and looked like a rock on the beach. All over papers next day

Keeping up the porn theme, I've found many "grumble" mags (many years ago though), and just a few months ago I found a dogging site in a lay-by just off the A19 north of York.

 

[Blue Hills]

Truly us cyclists seem to be trawling the underbelly.
(Am intrigued by the term grumble mags. Wot on earth is the derivation of that?

 

[Blue Hills]

Oh hang on.
On a guided london bike ride one bright sunday afternoon we all apparently passed some naked woman being photographed near the thames. May have been more going on - innocent me never saw it but everyone else seemed to. Later discovered that was a dogging sPot, though at night of course.
I see a grubby theme here and can't help wondering if this is why some cyclists favour insanely bright torch beams.

I read it in Viz. It's rhyming slang. I won't type it here, but I'm sure it's Googleable

It’s Cockney rhyming slang for the word my mum detests, grumble and grunt.
Hint: the mags are full of them.
Google shouldn’t be needed now!
