Now I don't mind the odd group ride but if he starts riding everyday I'm not sure what to do. I refuse to pootle down CS8/Embankment :!:
How shall I break him without making him hate me?
A couple of years ago, I saw skiing on a beautiful powder day with some mates. I made it to the lift first after the first run (obv), waited, and was joined by one mate.
A snowboarder, semi-delirious with joy, pulled into the lift queue. We waved him through and explained we were waiting for friends.
Wide eyed and grinning like a dervish, all he could say was "No friends on a powder day!", and shot past us.
That saying has become a bit of a fave with friends and (especially) with family.
I suggest you adapt it. No friends on the Embankment.
DDD learned this. The hard way
Much like you did in the alps eh? Always save something for the summit ;-)Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.0 -

Why, I oughta... That was nothing more and nothing less than a snake in the grass-style ambush! :evil:0 -
If you're worried about talking about cycle speed, how the heck are you ever going to say anything about the pubes in the soap?0
