After reading Ironman's boxing bout with a bumble bee earlier today, my mind was cast back to the Skye challenge at the weekend and wondered, momentarily, whether this was revenge ofthe bumble bee? Had a distant relative of the clan McBee sought revenge for the new sporting energy drink born out of neccesity for the Skye 95 mile, 10,000 ascent, monster marathon cycle? With no stocks of honey stinger energy sachets available in any of the bike shops visited by the Ironman, he made his own. Take a squeezy bottle of runny honey and squirt liberally into a 1 litre water bottle. Fill bottle to the top with cold water and mix well. You now have teh complete and natural energy drinkand probaly for less than the cost of a honey stinger sachet. But beware, each mix may attract the wrath of the clan McBee should word get out.
Bigman was out for a 2o mile spin tonight including the Aberdour Ascent. The Fit One had not been fed and so no record attempt was to be made tonight. 4 mins and 11 seconds remains the target to beat. It was a chilly wind from the east that sapped the energy only partially outweighed by the heat in the sun. As the pair approached the metroplolis of Aberdour, The Fit One tucked in behind the ever decreasing shadow of the Bigman. The Chippie visit on Monday assisted in the failure to achieve a new weight reduction record.
A deeply theological debate broke out after climbing the Ascent which will be reported in a future blog coming soon to a screen near you.
In the meantime the hot news is that Santiago and The Fit One will lead the Tour de France into Paris on 26th July 2009 ................................ subject to the flight being on time!
When you watch the final stage live on TV, you may be forgiven for imagining that all the cheering will be for the 2009 Tour de France winner. Look closely and you will spot the real heroes. Santiago and The Fit One will be wearing yellow jerseys amongst the thronging crown. If you should spot a couple of Fit, Fat, and Forty plus blokes sporting yellow lycra, you may be looking at the famous Santiago and The Fit One.
