I could see my Tour de France dreams disappearing right in front of my eyes as The Hamster failed to negotiate the Camberwell tram depot tram tracks right in front of me. I braked hard, but to no avail. The severity of my attempts to stop ( I really did try Joe!!) probably only deepened the imprint of my black chillies on the Hamster's back. Unlike Tour de France riders who have failed to successfully negotiate stray labradoors, by some miracle I stayed upright after flying over the splayed prostrate Hamster!
Joe, I hope you are OK mate and next time we will skip the Chapel Street lessons on how to ride in tram tracks!
How's the bike?
ReplyDeleteWheb do you guys head off? Please email post sms as many photos as you can.
I hope your ok Joe. I did the same a couple of years ago.
Radar, that was funny watching you do the flip at the junction.
ReplyDeleteHamster, hope the bike is okay and your back gets better (would have loved watching you explain that one to Mel and ask for a massage). Great skills Connor, a flaying Hamsters legs could have flipped you anywhere ala tour of swiss below.

Don't worry about the swiss how'bout the hairpin at 70km/hr (as robbie put it) in Belgium.
ReplyDeleteLife imitates art and again.
Let me get this right...Hamster fell for the old, "bikes can't ride anywhere near parallel to tram tracks...the natural enemy of" trick and caused you to ride him like a broke back mountain rodeo.
Basso, you should of seen the one on the montain bike!
ReplyDeleteBuckled the front wheel and bent the forks. Wheel wouldn't spin so straighted in between a post and a tree.
What the hell's going on over there, you're not meant to try and take out your own team mates unless your name is lance...maybe the hamster should start wearing Astana kit and speaking spanish...
ReplyDeleteEl Hampster!
