for those on facebook, a vid of the PR main bunch on the Arenberg. 30s of it.

Flanders was going to a one off for me too but am glad I ventured back to the pave. At the Ronde the distance and the hills are the main deal with the cobbles thrown in. Here it's all about the pave. The upper body takes a pounding and like many others I found it difficult to squeeze a bottle for a drink at the end of the secteurs. Entering the Arrenberg was a special moment and the ferocity of that 5 star secteur really let us know what we were in for. Despite the challenges we kept the bunch together and everyone rode well ( even if Chung looked more than a little shell shocked !). I'm afraid I ENJOYED it !

Bets on for Billy's weight loss, Greg's anti ageing, Al's tanning or Couttie's beast pills!

Mine it was a mixture of all the above

T'was none of us, as no one disgraced themselves on the pave - everyone remained rubber side down.

 

For your impudent suggestion, Judas, that we Joasin might, or indeed need to, resort to pharmaceuticals to master the cobbles I think a month's banishment from these boards is warranted.
