"We joked as we saw the first of the groups of randonneurs roll away into the morning mist. I remember seeing a guy with both a handlebar bag and panniers and thinking: 'I will be seeing you eating my dust on the first hill, mate.' I didn't see him again untill the final five miles. He looked as if he had been for a casual Sunday afternoon ride as he joked with his friend and chugged a pale ale."

"At one of the food stops they had hard-boiled eggs. However, they didn't have any salt or pepper. I remember being so incredibly hungry for that salt and pepper that it angered me no end. Why would you tempt us with hard-boiled eggs and no salt and pepper? Heathens."
