    Not long till the tour de france starts and you'll be able to overdose on men in lycra. Do you live near any part of its uk route? Monday is set to be quite chaotic traffic wise on Monday as it comes through. Might go and have a look as it goes very close to where I live.

    :shock: Will someone please chuck a bucket of cold water over Boomer. All this excitement can't be good for her :wink:

    Mig – just sit quietly in a calm environment. I've booked the counselling for you :lol:

    I've just been talking to my friend who lives in Skipton. She says she's sick of the sight of Lycra, if she sees one more Lycra clad man she'll scream!
    Takes all sorts I suppose :lol:

    :o What sort of 'friend' is that? You clearly have very little in common.

    I'm just back from rheumatology. We got 'stuck' behind three lycraed cyclists. I say stuck because Mr SW was all for overtaking them but I pointed out (repeatedly) how dangerous it would be. I think they were relatively new to cycling as the gear was all spanking new and the rear one (if you'll pardon the expression) was quite wobbly.They were very fit though :D

    Here I am all soaking wet now, thanks Sticky :roll:. Not a lycra-clad cyclist to be seen anywhere (sigh). It's terrible what you ladies have to put up with....

    What's all this about spanking cyclists and throwing buckets of water over them? There have been lots of cyclists around here recently too, with lycra. North of North Yorkshire (for the time being).

    Mig, you're getting over-excited again. Sit quietly or else I'll have to get the straitjacket out :roll:

    No cyclists were spanked in the writing on these posts. However, today is definitely lycra heaven in these parts and the only reason I'm not there watching is the necessity to be in place some 2-3 hours before they arrive and the fact that cars are banned from many roads. You can tell the route of Le Grand Depart by which roads don't have potholes.

    Anna, I'm sorry but it did have to be done. You could borrow Mig's straitjacket next time if you prefer :wink:

    I think it's on TV in a few minutes. Place your bets for the most spankable lycra, ladies :D

    My Neighbour over the road goes cycling ever morning dressed in his lycra! He must think his Lance Armstrong literally because the only way he can cycle further than down the road without taking performance enhancing drugs!! :lol:

    I hear lycra is needed in the middle aged, to reduce wind resistance :wink: Or should that be production :o

    So what are us ladies then? Must be MAWWMAMIL's....
