One big party is what it was. It was a goodbye-
crit/kermesse, with friends, team mates, and other invited
big names doing a few laps around the beer tent. Huge turn-
out, they spoke of 50,000 people. It was lovely weather.
Lots of tv camera's, interviews, highlights from the career,
you name it. Dave Bruylandts who shot the race away played
along nicely and remained dead-serious when they asked him
what the chances were of Museeuw winning
🙂 And yes it was a fundraiser too, because they auctioned
:off his bike
for E.15,001 (for a child cancer charity).

I thought about going, as my parents' house is sort of in
the neighbourhood, but reckoned cycling back 50 km at 3 am
with (maybe) a few beers in me would just be a bit too much.

Why not stay the night? Did Mom & Dad rent your room out??

Yes, my mommy and daddy rented the room out when I went
away for a while, to one horribly perfect lodger. I wanna
kick him in the gulliwuts,

I had to look that one up. My guess was wrong:

Ewoud is remarkably civil and much better educated than he
has any right to be. Sometimes I think that I ought to be
more careful around him but he shocks so easily....

severe a nerve in his face once? i can't remember ever
seeing him smile.

You must return here with a shrubbery or else you will never
pass through this wood alive!
