    6. Show no pain – unless your face is just like that

    Most of the time when we rode past the photographer LiT and me were chatting in a smiley 'look how fun cycling is' kinda way. The ONE time I get a (fake) gurn on as I blast past the others (I was doing about 2mph more than the others) as a joke, the picture gets chosen to be used in the mag and online.

    I know the SCR rules have been broken and, by way of pennance, I will let all cyclists buy me a drink the next time I'm at the Morpeth. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time, I say.

    And you are still winning! I've got to be a couple of points up the food chain too (fixie and no luggage) but it looks like your legs are shaved (like a laydee), so, thats one point back to me.

    No matter how you look at it, if it was a race, I lost.

    Yeah, it really does doesn't it? :S I assure you they're not though... They just had to do trippy things to the contrast/brightness on that photograph because it was getting so dark!

    Having bought a copy, I now realise this makes absolutely no sense as they didn't use the pic.

    Ho hum. Secret identity remains intact. :D
