    No, I'm sure Nobby said that it was also at the Bricklayers Arms?

    Sorry Buzz, Mostyn is right - Mrs Nobby's international career was unfortunately put on hold after an unfortunate doping incident where she a) pee-ed standing up whilst singing Sham69's never to be forgotten classic 'Hurry Up Harry ( a feat that she repeats every Saturday night at the Bricklayer's Arms after their notorious Whist and Acts of Mindless Violence Drives) and b) drank the first prize at the Wolverhampton Olympic Trials of '73 (2 litres of Old Spice) and left hooked the Commisaire in the gents. That was where the altercation took place, not where she hit him...

    Tried out the sideburns on the ride today... no noticable improvement in speed .. but they are only a week old,so maybe more growth is needed

    Is it just me, or does your 'Wiggo' have more than a passing resemblence to John Lennon? My girlfriends and I had a good discussion about this over brunch this morning after our ride, and all were in agreeance!

    ... they could provide padding and stability to prevent helmet strap rubbing or moving.

    Can't see any resemblence between Wiggo and Lennon myself, although he may be flattered by the comparison.

    Sideburns come in useful in trapping crumbs of food, small insects etc. Every bit of nutrition counts when you are burning 7000 calories per day.
