Well that's me put in my place as far as my cycling abilities go ;-)
The offspring came home from school and said to his Dad, "Fancy going out on a training ride?" Dad
had to refuse as he has a prior engagement he can't get out of. So I said to offspring, "Never mind,
if Dad can't make it, I'll come out with you."
Offspring looked at me in a sort of sympathetic, "how do I let mum down gently" way and said, "Oh
that's okay Mum, I'll go out on my own then, as I want to get some sprinting in and I know you can't
keep up with me. You just do your own pace, Mum."
Well then, that's me put in my place then, isn't it. Nicole Cooke I am not ;-)
Mind you, credit to him, he got changed into his kit & went out on a training run. Told me where he
was going - & even called me by mobile to let me know he had deviated slightly from pre-arranged
route, just so I was kept informed. He arrived back home a little while later, all sweaty so he'd
put in some effort.
I'm just off to remove a few spokes from his wheels & stick a few holes in his inner tubes I
think... as revenge for the earlier comment though :-D
Cheers, helen s
