Cool Thanks!
Feed zone is a good one - though the 4's will encounter few of those :

I think I'm going to stick to the more techical terms for the most part- they can figure out how to insult one another themselves... that reminds me, Wheels in Wheels Out and Neutral Support will be good ones too.

but as I promised definitions!

Feed Zone- an area on the race course where riders may be able to pick up water bottles (the pro's can get food too, but I have yet to see anyone pick up a muzette [food bag] in any of our races). Short races generally will not have a feed zone and you are unlikely to see one in a 4's race unless you do one of the longer combined category races. If you have someone to wait in the feed zone for you, you will be able to get anything you supply, otherwise at best you will be able to get a bottle of water, at worst nothing. Check with the organiser before hand to see if they will be providing neutral water - usually it will say so on the flyer or in the Race Bible.

Fred, Wilma, Barney - a Fred/Barney is a person who is shockingly out of fashion, but annoyingly able to beat you, even when riding an old heavy, unhip bike..... poseurs with expensive bikes intensely dislike Freds. A Wilma is the female equivalent of a Fred.

Snot Rocket- snot blown from a single nostril on the fly. Snot Rockets are best only done at the *very back* of the pack or paceline. It can be difficult to maste the art of blowing them without getting snot all over your face or arm. Most people find that they are more skillful at one nostril than the other.

I'm going to have to guess that chucking a biscuit is puking.
