Is this considered a group ride?

As to Jen's questions about teapots, from Monty Python's The Cycling Tour:


Pither
...and the pump caught in my trouser leg...(she carries on digging trying to ignore him) ...and that's how they were damaged...(no reaction)...the eggs...you remember...the hard-boiled eggs I was telling you about...they were in a tupperware container, reputedly self-sealing, which fell open upon contact with the tarmacadam surface of the road.... (she goes on digging)...the B489...the Dawlish road...(again no reaction) That shouldn't really happen to a self-sealing container, should it? What do you keep your hard-boiled eggs in?

Pither
(shouting) I think in future I shall lash them to the handlebars with adhesive tape...this should obviate a recurrence of the same problem...well I can't stop here all day...I'm on a cycling tour of North Cornwall. Must be off.

Talk about a rare combination - sexy and tweed used in the same sentence (in this century). Not that it isn't possible, as proved by the previous tweed rides.

YAH! We should've started this thread months ago. Perhaps we should have an official Sexy Tweed contingent at the upcoming Porn Ride?

It serves many purposes - comfort, revenge . . .

I thought the right arm around the neck was the if you crash I am taking your ass with me!

That's where the right-arm-around-the-neck comes in. Either person can pilot, of course . . .

Looks uncomfortable, John! I must have those red saddle shoes.

Tea kettles, flasks, tins for salty snacks!
