Keep Smiling and Keep Cycling

Thumbs up

Maybe it was something in the air, but all the cyclists cycling past this morning were very happy.

Perhaps they had heard of all the fame and riches that can follow on from being photographed on Cycling info?

smiling

It’s always good to see smiling cyclists – it reminds of the most important thing about cycling which is all about having fun. A bit different from the ‘gurning * competition’ which is an integral part of the hill climb season.

Or perhaps they were just laughing at me for having my trousers tucked into my socks, or was it the frizzy yellow wig and kilt I was wearing?

* Gurning- the practise of facial contortions to help with painful hill climbs. The most contorted facial features can win some bragging rights, if nothing else.
