Paul & Phil -- Bingo anyone?

I heard "spot of bother" this morning.

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.

It's getting grippy out there...

That's hysterical!

I spent much of the Death Ride "trying to get just that little bit more aerodynamic".....

LOL - I might have to use that one.

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.

How else would you describe it?
rarefy - to make rare, thin, porous, or less dense (Wester).

Trust me, the oxygen is pretty rare at 10,000 feet elevation, and gets more rare the higher you go

how about "front end of the main field"

..that seems to be one of the favorites.

My all-time favorite was from Paul during a mountain stage a few years ago: His legs are screaming, "Bridge to engine room: more power," but there...is...no...more.
