End of Season Treats

markos1963

Wondering if others like me treat themselves at the end of the season?

With the TT/RR season pretty much over I decided to go out for a blast on my TT bike. Best wheels and tyres chancing my luck by just carrying a mobile. Not a long ride but a head clearing blast on some fast roads before the bike gets stripped for a winter refurb'. Felt really good after and renewed my desire to race next year.

I treated myself to a Rolo doughnut - does that count?

I don't want to sound like a weirdo, but is that really treating yourself? Sounds more like an average sunny non racing Sunday to me. Good bike, head out with mates on their good bikes, bit of a pose, have fun because you've worked all week and you're worth it, as the advert says. End up back at someone's house for fresh double espresso, shower, clea clothes, red wine and salami until the cows come home.

I thought an end of season treat would a Rolo doughnut, four pints of Ruddles and a couple of packets of pork scatchings or a new set of Obermayers to congratulate yourself for another year of not crashing and getting dead disease, not just going out for a ride.

But that's just me……..

Well in previous seasons I have done the Ullrich thing and put a stone on slobbing out but unlike him I can't shrug it off as easily.

That is because, my dear friend, you aren't smacked off your chops on EPO and anything else that comes to hand.

Either that or can't dance as fast or as well as him in order to lose same said pie-age. One of the two. Obvioulsy, for legal reasons, I'm, not going to comment on which.

Ahh, that was you at the back getting a tow from the team cars with a packet under your arms was it?
