Wise words from Robin Wan Kinobi (plus I'll see what I can do about the podium girls).

Thats it! Robin, formerly known as the Official Retrobike Mountain Goat, shall henceforth be known as 'The Ginger Jedi'

and a couple of podium girls (there's the challenge for the next event)

I still have my dress handy....

Back on track, had a recce ride today with Dave as below. Road surfaces are of 'variable smoothness' so best to leave the 20c silk tubs to mature in the cellar a little longer. There's also a bit of climbing so perhaps 42x25 or similar as a low gear would be sensible.

The Lil Boss is suggesting a Mexican theme and I'm reasonably sure she's referring to food although I've been wrong with embarrassing results in the past - any dissension or alternative suggestions?

Should be in chaps. Is Dave on the electric yogurt pot?

I'd advise against wearing chaps. Unless you are riding a horse, wearing a Stetson and carrying a pistol.
