At the top of the Tumble, the big climb, the peaceful Welsh countryside was disrupted by a Zone 4 rider retching at ear-splitting volume. This made me feel bad. Bad that I had become distracted whilst riding up by a cuckoo and had been mulling over the decline in the cuckoo population instead of making the correct amount of effort.

Additionally i tried reading the "rules" once, remembered I have a life, at least claim I do, and went for a ride without checking to see if me tire labels were synced with my valve stems.
