    Today I told someone at work where I was going this weekend, he asked ' are you going to ride in it?'. I thought he was having a laugh then looking at his face I realised that some people really should not be allowed out on their own.
    I cycle, run, and hill walk.
    Legs like Popeye, arms like Olive Oyl. (Abs like Bluto).

    Just put them off by saying something like:

    "Yup. I need a win, and I'll be aiming for a bit more than the meagre £75,000 you get for coming last!"

    You can say the same about the weather . .

    'You're not really riding home in this rain?'

    I quite often got the 'You're off course if you're riding in the Tour de France' every July....that was when Channel 4 showed the Tour in prime time though.
    I'd rather walk than use Shimano

    I would if Armstrong was still riding it but no point if it's going to be too easy!

    And I can't be ar$ed to take my lights and locks off my commuter either... :wink:

    Well I had someone at work asking me if I'm doing the ride at the weekend. I was bemused thinking he was taking the p** but he was actually referring to the Manchester - Blackpool ride.

    Got the same thing when I announced to work colleagues that I was off to watch the MTB worlds in Les Gets the other year. Was I racing? 'Not without my rocket pack/vast quantities of amphetamine/wings' etc was my reply.

    I have been asked 4 times this weekend if I'm in the race.
    All serious
    OK so I live in Greenwich and had a TdeF shirt on, but I'm also the wrong side of 45

    I'm amazed how little some people know about the TdeF. By the time the last question came I was ready and said " If I was wearing an England football shirt would you assume I was on the team ?" She just looked blank, but I suppose it was a bit of quick wit and ready repartee wasted on the average minimum wage slave shop assistant
