At the TDU today. Top of Old Willunga Hill. Me and two kids. Group of middle aged blokes in full racing lycra and carbon bikes, shaved legs and all the 'cool accessories'. They wanted to watch to, so they shoved in front of me and the kids, then proceeded to stand out on the road as the riders came past so no-one could see. Arrogant pricks, but I guess they stood a better chance of being on television that way.Funkymonk wrote:Went for a ride today from Baldivas to Kings Park and back , enroute passing on comming middle to late aged men ... all kitted up flash gear looking real Gucci .... all with snarls and nasty grunts as they pass by , went past one pack of 7 middle aged belly impared guys who had some smart arsed stuff to say ...

went out today for a post Aust day look around at the carnage , and waddya know it was so quiet out there [bike wise ]
went to Kings Park and around UWA ,very quiet , and a few waves and head nod's from passing riders .....and NO GRUMPY OLD MEN
I t was great to see the amount of kids out there with mums and dads !
They must have topped up their tanks last night , no doubt their guilt will make them twist and contort and half strangle themselves back into their team jersey's for next Sat snarl rides

I feel nothing but pity for these types, they are the ones who miss out what the ride is all about.
Glad you enjoyed your ride mate.

When my sister provided grandchildren, Dad exclaimed that he was too young to be called Grandad, so he was called Grumps instead
Now that they are staying for a bit, I've also discovered he wears Homer Simpson PJs and has a "Homer on a Rope" in the shower!!
It is hilarious. Some grumpy old men are able to poke fun at themselves.
Bet Kev has one of these t-shirts too

Sorry if anyone took any offense to my post, was not trying to start an argument. Just wasn't a pretty site at the time.uMP2k wrote:If you are lucky you might even live to be one yourself...Jr Dacks wrote:They should ban fat old men wearing that lycra stuff, was stuck behind one the other day, he must have been 50 odd years old, overweight in a 1pce silver costume looking like a somehow pregnant drag queen and it put me off my lunch.
