There has been a couple of memorable comments....
"It's downhill all the way to the top of this hill Alan" Russell of Stourbridge BUG
"I've not yet met a hill I can't walk up".I forget who said it & where & when but it was a companion on an audax ride.
"On a bike?" asked of me,dressed in lycra & pushing my bike into Reception by the owner of a hotel on the Lizard Peninsula when told that I'd travelled from John O'Groats.
"Nice ar$e" from a young woman in the drivers seat of a ragtop whilst we were stationary at traffic lights.
"Is that a bannana guard or are you happy to see me?". I'm not saying which lovely lady who is well known on another cycling forum.
