For me, just recently, its been:

LIFF (n.)

A book, the contents of which are totally belied by its cover. For instance, any book the dust

And apropos of the OP, a Selle San Marco Rolls is undoubtedly a Saddleworth Moor :-)

There are rather a lot of spelling mistakes in that one. But it is handy.

And anyone with a new Brooks probably finds it Herts.

Quoted message said:

Up here there is No Place for when you're lost, Pity Me for sorting out double punctures in
the rain, and Wallish Walls which you discover they are if you hit them. Wide Open offers some
good riding.

There's always Bog Houses for when you are caught short too...

I want a Colnago C40, so perhaps I need to visit Make Me Rich.

Any body know of any funny named villages, appropriate for cycling?

Amazed nobody's mentioned Ryde yet :-)

It's spelled "ride", no?

If I owned one, I'd grab my anorak.

And rightly so - that is without doubt the most boring thing you've said all week ;-)

Epping was a hardy perennial; I would often ask Mrs Larrington "Shall I ep?" at the conclusion of a
restaurant meal...

I was just cycling through the village of Nospelt (Luxembourg) this morning, and as I rode up the
hill - just thinking it was harder that in looked and I should shift down - I noticed the name of
the street: "Focken-Hiel" - I nearly fell of in front of a group of lyokels from laughing. They must
get that all the time from furriners. Sure anyway, it better than Arsdorf further north.

In German would that be equivalent to a bum village in which to live or visit??

In Gourock, Inverclyde, there's a bar called Cleats.

This post did not necessarily reflect my opinions. So there.

Last week I went through No Place. And up to a few years ago, until it was renamed, I'd have passed
Fannybush Road on the way back.

We've got a village up the road called SKIDBY.

Near Hull ?

I was a student in Cottingham (years ago) and rides out to the Half Moon at Skidby's yorkshire
puddings were a regular on Sundays.
