Race to the North

Another cycle race.
This time it was from Halifax in Yorkshire up to Scotland.
I therefore stripped my bike of all extras including pannier bags, mudguards etc.
Then I looked at my white legs in the rather skimpy cycling shorts that I was wearing.
Need track suit bottoms, I thought.
However the race was about to start.
Still, need the track suit bottoms.
So, cycled 10 miles south to a track suit bottom shop.
Have to make up the time later.
As good a decision as I usually make.
