Sorry - wrong photo - it's this one
The other one is what I would LIKE to have, but at $2,400,000 the Bugatti Veyron is slightly beyond my financial reach at present. If somebody would like to send me one for long term testing I could be persuaded to help out. I'm not sure how much the insurance would be though.
Macot Cycle Club
Back to reality and last night was the AGM of the Macot cycling club. Despite nobody actually ever contacting anyone else there and everyone just doing their own thing, the 43 members managed to stand on a total of 121 podiums during the summer - covering everything up from the cyclosportives to the top level amateur categories. I was very proud to have contributed one of those podium spots myself. Someone had gone to great trouble to make up displays and to my surprise I found myself in the middle of one - left, centre...
The evening saw the anglophone contingent grow by one more - to a total of 4 - all ski instructors. This means that the Macot club is now almost 10% anglophone (if Aussies count).
The temperature is dropping again despite a distinct lack of snow in the neighbourhood. Although that might bankrupt the entire local economy - which depends on skiing - at least we can still get out an maintain our fitness on the roads.
