Marco failed to mention the most amusing moment of the day - when he discovered the 2 festering bananas that had been in the pocket of his jacket since the bec hill climb. Apparently he hangs his jacket above a rad, so they were diffinately ripe - well more liquid really.
Ok, Sylvain might have struggled a little bit, but I was hugely impressed how he remained in the normal upright position for the entire ride, and, returned home with both cranks still firmly attached to his BB. There were some pretty steep rocky downhills.
And yes Alan, I love my On-One 29er to bits. Marco will testify how I bore the pants off him going on and on how brillient she was.
By the way Marco, this is the character I was talking about when I said "Ma bicycle is ma wife now, Dave"

Perhaps I should be point out that I'm not much of a Papa Lazarou fan myself - more Chuckle Brothers me.
