Grog, here's to when you're 72 you can ride to your re-union with a sweetheart and maybe a bunch of TE gals tagging along.
My Mom who clips articles whenever there's something I should read gave me a copy of this article which I think was in a British paper. I told here I hoped to find an online version to share with you and by gum I found it:

Cycling Gran!
How cool! Okay, you antipodeans, what does it mean to be "chuffed"? Is it excited, upset, happy, enthusiastic, or all of these? Is there an american equivalent?
