In the tomorrow's slowies ride to CP I will wear budgy smugglers to see how comfortable it is to ride in them in aero position, as I might be doing my triathlon in them. Just so that others don't feel left out, here's an offer to consider:

For the CP ride this Saturday, if you turn up in budgy smugglers, I will shout you a coffee after the ride. If you turn up in masculine pink budgy smugglers, I will shout the whole breaky. :D

PS: This offer expires on Saturday 19 Sep 2009

that is to funny, i think you should turn this into a yearly event.

it would also be a good way to work on our great tan lines we get as cyclists.

Yearly is too less. Maybe once every three months will be go0d to add a bit of fun to the weekend rides. Hope to have more participation for the next budgy smuggler ride. Here are some more photos:

Well, I was willing to sponsor his whole breaky even though he wasn't in pink budgy smugglers, but he wouldn't let me. He said he ate a lot! :roll:

Thanks to Tim, Mike, Jules, Anthony and Tomas for being a good sport. Painted in red body paint and red budgy smugglers, Mike was the best santa ever! Jules went straight to work after the ride, still wearing aqua smooth operator budgy smugglers, when his boss asked him "Did you party hard last night?!" Rest of the story is best to be heard by Jules himself :)

Tim helped the smuggler slipstream set the cracking pace as we did some fast laps around the park, followed by Tomas who was having some good time. Anthony entertained everyone by puncturing his tire thrice... though I suspect it was his strategy to rise higher in the flat tire competition. It was confirmed when we discovered he had hidden debris in his tire to puncture any new tube you'd put in it.

Finally thanks to all the DHBC cyclists who joined us this morning and entertained everyone with their funny comments. Also, a million thanks to our photographer Brian who has done a brilliant job at taking the stills. Waiting for the video uploads!

well I have a nice version of the video that is a measly 4.8 GB which is a bit big, the smaller versions I have experimented with so far have been very poor, so now I am trying to make it smaller with quick time... :roll:

Well the video can be seen here. I have much higher quality versions that the ones that are compressed too much for internet streaming.

I have put the origin upload file in http://yewenyi.net/tmp

If you want a better (twice the screen size) copy I can give you a DVD. Contact me separately for a copy.
