Cycling in this morning - spinning along with zero effort and zero wind... at 19mph. :D

Looking at the grass and hedges beside me - all noticeably leaning in my direction of travel. :shock:

Realising I am cycling with a 19mph tailwind, I start contemplating the ride home.... :?

I'm now scouring the building looking for a Virgin to sacrifice, or failing that: a goat. Or a virgin goat just to make sure.

    A headwind makes you work harder, therefore makes you fitter. It's like hills, helps build fitness and muscle. Both are your friend. You may not like being with them at times, but you will be glad afterwards that you were in their company.

    Stop looking for goat, and pray that the wind is the same. Your thighs of steel will thank you later....

    Too pretty to be a virgin. White dress my ars*!
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

  • Just because she is wearing a veil doesn't make her a virgin. A common mistake! :D
