What Would Mother Say?

SSCXBB.jpgIf you told her that the first time you met your new partner she was totally naked.
Jo Burt has spent the majority of his life riding bikes, drawing bikes and writing about bikes. When he's not scribbling pictures for the whole gamut of cycling media he writes words about them for road.cc and when he's not doing either of those he's pedaling. Then in whatever spare minutes there are in between he's agonizing over getting his socks, cycling cap and bar-tape to coordinate just so. And is quietly disappointed that yours don't He rides and races road bikes a bit, cyclo-cross bikes a lot and mountainbikes a fair bit too. Would rather be up a mountain.

Hmm. Thought it may be fast and hard. But hey, a dirty ride is even better. Trouble is, it takes so long to clean up after.
Sorry - but who was naked - the new partner or your mother - only joking - i'm not really that thick!! - Why was your mother there wearing no clothes when you met your new partner - sounds like a wierd party or maybe i've had a sheltered life!!!
And take pictures of her bottom bracket…
Okay, I'll get my coat
i had to turn away in shame when she was somewhat brutally reamed by the burly builder
English or Italian?
it stayed well screwed, with no 'whoops' popping out, so english
She'll be a nice quiet ride then.
How far will you go first time?
first time - an hour fast and dirty (if she comes on time), as you should, thereafter lots of longer sessions with plenty of time in the brown, and sore knees to finish
