at some point, during JOGLE or LEJOG you will have to cycle past a nuclear bomb. You will not know the exact point when this happens but, it will happen. You will have to ride past, or even right over a nuclear bomb.

Google UK’s stance on nuclear armerment. I didnt bother, I posted this as a thought experiment but theres bound to be truth in it.

 

My spell checker dont work either, please forgive me.

The only reason we have 11*

The only reason we have 11* speed super machines dripping in Shimano’s finest groupsets is because Japanese industry we devastated by the atomic bombing allowing it to arise Phoenix-like from clean foundations after the war.

So a I think a little more respect is called for – don’t you?

 

* road gears of course.  Get thee behind me 12/13 speed heretics.

On the other hand, my last ride was disrupted twice by the chain getting trapped between the spokes and the big sprocket. Serves me right for trying to tweak my own limit screws. It cost me several minutes and quite a bit of swearing.

Conclusion: Limit screws pose a much greater threat to cyclists than nuclear weapons do.

…and why are they JIS?

If you ride upstream on the Kennet, on the NCN 4, from Reading, you go past both Burfield Farm and Aldermarston Warf and Lock, don’t know how it’s relevent to this discussion, as my OS map shows absolutely nothing there, but there are some big fences, and security notices and some amazing lighting at night.

Never understood how covering yourself in ducks was meant to help. Seems impractical on a bike anyway.

What’s even worse is that

What’s even worse is that there’s a completely uncontrolled runaway nuclear reaction happening up in the sky. Luckily, it’s a long way away, but even at a distance, the radiation is dangerous and can easily cause skin burns.

Hmmm you could be right – as long as you can duck underneath them and cover I guess you should be OK.

Imagine you’d got most of the way through LEJOG and your paper bag got wet just going past Faslane though, bummer….

Well then it’s just irresponsible of you to be cycling around putting all those innocent bombs at risk of blowing you up, isn’t it?
