    Literally it means - "I hope we all have light socks tomorrow. I hope I don't run into the man with the hammer."

    Meaning - I hope we all ride well and I don't bonk. This from my Cycling France guidebook.

    Happy (belated?) birthday cindysue.

    Thanks for that translation about the socks and hammer, V. I'd figured out the stuff about that cake (naturally ), but that one was a bit much for my one year of high school French.

    I always read "gateau" as cat, too! I suppose it's the Spanish, gato, that happily plugs in when I don't understand French!
