Is she ready for this shocker cynic!!

she's seen you as an emu, so i dare she is now shock-proof

fyi - sold 50% this afternoon, partly to lock in profit while travelling and also because RDW has, along with many others, had a stupendous rise in the last few weeks ..... despite some encouraging "real world" news, the markets have anticipated all this several times over; i still predict a serious retrenchment in the coming weeks

i fear i am beginning to sound like Strawbs, though unlike him, i do actually put money into the market!

You're right Balerboy - think I'd better be the one wearing a crash helmet when I see the pix, in case I keel over with shock!

cycling gear cyners, is that code for your S@M outfit?............ or should that be M@S.

if i can work out how to blank my face, i'll post a pic on here when i get back .... that'll cheer your day!

LOL.......

A video I think, Cynic - just to prove you've not cheated and travelled in the motor instead

i'll certainly be taking video, and my pal john, who is the official court photographer will do stills

Toya.... you mean a bit like David Cameron cheating...LOL.

Hi GF, BB, et al: I have the much-heralded pic of Guess-Who-Himself but now cannot upload it! The only way is to click below:

Guess Who!

Certainly the cycle gear is very smart, but as yet I have no evidence of any cycling having taken place. Wining and dining, yes...

Bulletin from Cynic's Cycle Tour - he's not letting on what happened on Day 1!

"Day 2
Tournus to Julienas by our convoluted route was near enough 50 miles. More than enough for old farts as the 14 miles after lunch was predominantly uphill.

After that excessive effort have booked a plot in the rather picturesque Julienas cemetery."

"I thought the sign just outside it was somewhat curious, for fairly obvious reasons."

Click here to see the reason why...

LOL.

cynic staying in youth hostels!!!!!!!!!

whats the world coming too.

I can't answer for him GF. Don't forget, he was only posing for a pic - one mustn't jump to conclusions... the wife might be checking up on where he's spending all those (ill-gotten) gains. He's probably told her he's going on a cheap holiday!

Bu**er, thats done it now!! He's always said he was "an old fart" and took him at his word..... turns out he's better looking than me!! shant believe a word he's says again. lol

Cynic's Cycle Tour - Day 3 [from The-Man-Himself]
"Another glorious sunny day beckoned us all to enjoy the delights of the Beaujolais countryside. And so we did, though there is inevitable regular hill-work to be undertaken. We pretty much use just the most minor of roads, so traffic is significantly less than minimal.
As we left Julienas we could see groups of happy peasants[!!] bending their backs to the beneficial toil of harvesting the grapes. After a brief 'lost in the wilderness' we soon came to Chenas followed by Moulin a Vent - see pic - and Morgon, Brouilly etc. In due course, we reached our most southerly point in Beaujolais and turned south-east to Belleville. In the founding fathers' eyes only I fear!
Being Monday, all the decent shops were shut so we had to make do with the hypermarket for picnic lunch provisions. UK supermarkets have so much to learn about quality produce!
Having taken goodies on board, it was across the Saone and a quick stop in a nearby village for a well-earned beer. Another 40 minutes' cycling and lunchtime beckoned. Both the food and the bottle of Chenas slipped down a treat!
While eating, we noticed the wind picking up. And by golly it had, so that the last 10 miles were truly murderous as we cycled into a 20mph side/head-wind.
Though the whole day was only just under 40 miles, we were all totally whacked by the end.
Dinner was typically French - for me a huge platter of local and fresh frogs' legs - and an early night was the popular choice - I am afraid the delectable young waitress had been spoken for already; can't win 'em all if ever!"

[My comment: Cynic, don't kid yourself - sounds like that waitress took one look at you and saw you were too whacked for her!]

Moulin a Vent, near Chenas

Cynic's Cycle Tour - Day 4 [from The-Man-Himself]
"Last night I stupidly forgot to identify the destination - Villars en Dombes.
It's only a small town without a great deal to commend it, though the 10th-century church was a most interesting and curious jumble of original stuff and additions.

Ribotel, where we stayed, was pretty much all that was on offer. The hotel bit was pretty horrid - tatty Crossroads Motel or worse - but the attached restaurant was leagues higher with a well-deserved local reputation. The staff were also talented as mentioned previously!

Yesterday's wind had not much abated, but today it was pretty much at our backs. What a treat!

We bowled along at a fair lick with man-made lakes to left and right. Most are very shallow. Hence the plenitude of frogs to be found on local menus. Historically it's quite an interesting area, so if you want to know a bit more, just google Les Dombes.

An hour so later found us in the pretty little town of Vonnas. Clearly the local power lies with the family of Georges Blanc. The family owns a number of smart shops, predominantly selling wine and deli stuff as well as a very smart hotel and restaurant. The local bar was perfectly adequate for our own needs!
Having stocked up with picnic goodies, we got under way once more.
By about 12:30, our stomachs decided they needed some sustenance and a suitable wooded spot was soon found. Good bread, assorted terrines from the traiteur, tomatoes, smelly cheese [Langres], fruit and a bottle of St Amour made for a more than satisfactory repast.

As planned, there was only about 12 miles to our destination. But a little less may have been wiser as the terrain was now 'rolling' - aka up hill and down dale - though not viciously so.

Anyway, on reaching St Trivier we got directions to our little gite and resting place for the night. It's an old farm house in totally peaceful surroundings and should fit the bill perfectly.

Good job we arrived quite early as about 40 minutes after arrival a heavy shower + thunder and lightning ensued. Indeed a good hour or so later the thunder still rumbles on, quite probably in the Saone valley whither we are headed tomorrow. Let's hope it clears overnight or our final run back to Chalons on the morrow will be less than fun."

[NB: no pix this time - his attention has probably been diverted... But I'll see if we can get (a decent) one to add to the album]

Thanks Toya for the update, quite look forward to it...... can't think why, must be missing his cynical replies. lol

Came across weather chart for Chalons, tell him to make the most of today as wet for next two. BB

Hi BB - he probably knows that but I'll pass on your message.

You're right: it is rather quiet about these parts without him stirring things up!

Here's a pic of where they stayed last night - I've 'censored' the legs in case any of you get overexcited again!
