Last Tuesday night in a charming pavement brasserie near Gay World Park, ETS and I reflected on the exertions of our ascent of Mt Faber the previous Sunday. Amongst the talk of power meters, dropping the peloton and entering the red-zone the conversation repeatedly turned to one recurring topic.
As ETS exclaimed at one point “How are we ever going to avoid dry unmanageable hair whilst cycling in the Thai jungle?”. “I know” responded Darth “ the prospect of lacking bounce, body and a lustrous shine for a whole week concerns me deeply!”
Our early fears and concerns have however been allayed with the exciting news that there will now be a new member of our cadre, namely Adam (abusive nickname yet to be assigned – GG input please) and as if luck would have it he is also more than familiar with the hair care industry! As Bradley Wiggins once said, “the key to winning the Tour is not just cycling really cool but to also have a well conditioned barnet and sideburns”.

Our new member is also a former pro track cyclist and currently owns the only mountain bike in the Southern Hemisphere with a solid disc back wheel and he also owns his very own teardrop helmet. “His addition to the team will add grace, finesse and straight-line speed to an outfit that had previously been lacking in all these departments” quoted a team insider.
So the 3 Amigos are now the 4 Musketeers, the recruitment drive continues in full effect and we soon hope to surpass the Famous Five, and the Birmingham Six and top-out at the Magnificent 7.
