Yeah, one day before I'm 40.............oh F@@k, not long to go :roll:
I remember reading somewhere of a Tour de France rider, possible winner, who was prescribed by his doctor "3 cigarettes a day to cure an abnormally slow heartbeat".........oh how times have changed
if anyone can remember his name, post it up....I'm guessing this was between the wars period.

most riders used to have wine in their bottles .
there is a story of a rider who was so drunk that he killed himself on a downhill as he did not see a truck parked on the side of the road .

That I get, sounds cool.
