It's kind of a long way away still but I'm promising myself to be in the
Pyrenees with my bicycle and my new [pre-owned as you say] motorhome next year
too. I might even buy a stethoscope to poke in Berties face to check his
backhand swipe is still working if he's there. For some reason I've got a
feeling he's gonna beat the clem rap.

You Brits and your wacky spelling! It wasn't the clems (sp), it was
the beef!
You might also want to consider chase AC while you're dressed in a cow
costume. I'm sure you'd fit in the back half. :)~
Which motorhome did you get exactly? I've been looking for one
myself...not for the Pyrenees, though.

One of these, it had a nice garage big enough to get a couple of bicycles and a
windsurf board in plus generator and sundry other bits and pieces. A big
bathroom and a good gas fired water and interior heating system with blown air.
It has a pretty well equipped kitchen and lots of storage and a big bed over the
garage. It's main disadvantage is it's not really a socialising van with limited
seating space, 4 people is a crowd in there. It's 7 meters long, big by European
standards, tiny by American ones but on European roads it's about as big as is
practical. The 2.4 liter Ford turbo diesel engine gives good mileage, important
in Europe where diesel fuel is twice the price of the USA.

However since he's so keen at targeting cyclists I'll give him a free plug
http://www.dirkhofman.be/
Click on occasies and you'll see a very nice Rimor [Italian made on Ford
chassis] Superbrig which is very similar to mine and would make an ideal RV for
any American wanting to see the TdF in style. Of course they would need to have
the 44,000 euros to pay for it.

That whole thing is becoming increasingly surreal, if the French have any actual
evidence to link Floyd to the alleged hack I'll be amazed. What is it about
cycling that generates weird behaviour?

Do this experiment in a practical way.
1. Take your bike to the stop of a 10-12 story building.
2. Wrap a 1/4" steel cable loop around your ball sack snugly.
3. Attach the other end (about 70 meters) to an accurate pull scale
with memory - like this one http://www.topac.com/afg.html
4. Attach other end to fixed location (chimney. steel beam, rooftop
water tank, etc)
5. Ride off roof and let gravity take the lead (these are exciting
times)
6. Sometime before you hit the pavement you will get a reading for
your max drag (right before your balls rip off )
7. if alive proceed to the earlier post and began your drag queen
career.
