Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You mean that there have been exagerations? No, do tell. I have always accepted these numbers as the 'Gospel According to my58vw'. Have I been lead astray?

Bugger - I've just red carded myself from pies until further notice. I did this in the weekend after I realised I had eaten 8 pies in two days. It makes hills look scary. Now - back to the bullfight horaaay

what day is this ride.. I have to come out and see what drama unfolds.. I live only 30 minutes from Riverside..

I'm even thinking of putting my old campy record pedals w/clips and straps and ride my old school 7 speed bike to see what kind of looks I will get.. I would also dig my old Cinelli Hairnet out of the closet if the ride weren't so dangerous..

in this context 'bugger' is a more pithy version 'oh dear, what a pity', not to be confused with a rugger-bugger or buggery.

It would not matter because I am not riding with them anymore on that night. The drama only occurs some nights

Life's too short guys, kiss and make up. There are much more important things in this world to worry about.......58, admit your part of the fault to the guys without letting yourself use expletives, no matter what the guys throw back... and Marty, secondhand "eyewitness" accounts suck!
That is all.

There's no reason to kick anyone's ass. Maybe you should have bought him an ice cream to cheer him up. I hear that works on whiny crybabies.

Then again, the thought of neon lycra-clad yuppies going at each other over something this trivial kind of appeals to my sense of humor...

Hmm "bugger" a local colloquialism or slang term meaning emphasis, as in "I just looked around and there was carnage in that peleton-bugger" or "bugger me, look at that guy at the front go". I guess out of context it could look rude. Toyota did the funniest tv ad ever here with that word.

I got worried that I was being called the bugger. as in kids "you buggers" etc. thought I said something wrong.
