I can't resist telling hubby that I'm in a spot of bother on nearly every ride. I don't think he's as amused as I am.

I was so aware of all their little phrases last night... They called the chasing group "marauders" and said something about them being on a raid. They also kept talking about the "rarified air" at the high altitude.
