A long time ago, I was silly enough to 'suggest ' (http://tinyurl.com/hk3wz)that I'd buy an unspecified but significant amount of beer or unhealthy alcoholic drinks of their choice for the person who rode furthest to BUC.
Is anyone going for this?
My route looks like being about 120 miles, probably 140 once I've detoured to go to places I went to as a kid that I want to see again, and possibly to go through a place called Thwing because it sounds funny. I'm sure there are loads of people who live further away than that, who are in with a chance, even if you don't, there's always the option of taking a long route.
Oh, you foolish man! You can't make comments like that around Joe. He doesn't understand that these blatantly silly ideas aren't meant to be done, he will actually think you mean it.
You don't think I'm actually not going because of work? I've been finished for weeks, I just need an excuse so that he can't talk me into riding there.
