Not paying attention as you go to the toilet in uni today and enter the female one, not realising until well inside and the deciding that you'd come too far to turn back?

I don't have a Garmin log of it unfortunately it got corrupt, but I swear I did it.
33mph? Is that all. I did it at 50mph spinning the 53x12."A cyclist has nothing to lose but his chain"

I would have been impressed if it was Cyclesport or Rouleur magazine. Or 53x11.

Well...
Just a few minutes ago I was doing the housework/cleaning with Nine Inch Nails (the song was 'Closer') rather loud in the background. As I was emptying the big kitchen knife out of the dishwasher the doorbell went. I rushed to answer it, opened the door with the dobbing great knife in my hand, just as the song goes 'I want to **** you like an animal' to see a nice old lady from the church with an easter card and flowers for us...
I'm pretty sure she thought I was awesome.0 -

Photographers were following me and my team mates (as usual), so some images probably exist from the few times they were able to keep up with us on the climbs, although tracking them down would be difficult due to the large ammount of paparazzi I get attention from.0 -

I've seen them, but they're all blurred so they're useless - you were going so fast even the quickest shutter speed wasn't enough. Here's the best one:

I love Bhima, he brightens up my internetz
By the way Bhima, still waiting on you to "definitely" get in touch regarding you showing me how awesome you are on a ride round the Fred route.
Anytime, baby."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

yes! he had white leg warmers. It must have been him.
Fast bit of road eh Will|? that's good to know as I'm thinking of commuting and that would be my route in. Bit of scary stretch of road though isn't it?0 -

I though you worked from home? Wouldn't commuting for you mean just cycling around your driveway!? I'm starting to go into the office one day a week for a bit of variety.
When I work from home, there is always the possibility of extending your suggestion of cycling up and down the drive to include a quick tour of the peak district and back. A nice 3 or 4 hour commute of a morning would be lovely.
