Ah, February 14 is here again. A very special day for all of us. A day you don’t want to forget. A day when you make that extra effort to show the one you love just how much they mean to you. V Day.
On this day, I will rise early, tiptoeing out of bed so as not to make any noise and stir the sleeping. I will dress quickly and quietly, leaving the shoes until the last moment to avoid any heavy footed clomping. Making my way to the kitchen, I’ll prepare snacks and drinks, to be enjoyed during the adventure I have carefully planned for the day. The excitement builds within me as I think about what lays ahead.
When I see her there before me, waiting, my heart rate increases, and continues to rise as I make first contact with her. I whisper seductively “Are you ready? I’m gonna ride you hard today.” I reach for the lube and the pump.
I love her deeply. But she alone is never enough. I need more, to keep the flames of my infatuation burning bright. Yet I never feel unfaithful, I just have more love to give than one can handle. The others don’t mind, they never complain, and are always happy to let me ride them too. They are the best, most loyal friends a man can have.
This V Day, do something special for your loved one(s). Bathe them. Buy them a gift (maybe something in rubber, or a nice bottle of something). But most importantly, take them out, spend the whole day together, share some beautiful views… and make it a V Day to remember.

My 6 month old daughter kicks her legs nonstop and unfortunately has Pantani's ears (thank Merckx she can cover them up with hair, unlike her father). I may need to get her a Bianchi for her first birthday and point her uphill.
@frank
Me too, I remember the moment I heard it, and my heart still bleeds a little each time I revisit the tragedy
@frank
Marco looked good in a pair of jeans too:
@scaler911
Subtlety not missed here - first thought was 'nice Pantani rep'. Lovely bike that.
The guy was a great rider, I loved his climbing style - it's always what I think of as I'm clumsily dancing on the pedals. If others had half his style the peloton would be a more interesting place.
She's had new shoes and I have held her bottom bracket..! She's so pretty. I daren't post a photo on here for you bike perverts she is much too young for you lot!
The VMH's Valentines Day present arrived just in time! Destined to become her gravel rig.
@roger
And when the VMH says she "doesn't want anything" - is that REALLY girl speak for she does, bugger that explains two things - the treatment last night and the opening line this morning "I think I want a new car"........
@ frank Very nice, she has to be stoked! Now the creative process begins. When i saw the frame it reminded me of the story last week with regards to the Gamin - Sharp team, there bikes getting stolen from the Tour of Mediterranean and they with drew from the race. Anyway good luck with the build.
I rdie for the sake of it. I enjoy it - and if I'm brutally honest I ride so I can drink beer, not so I can win races. I enter races/rides to see how my informal training is going, and they usually demonstrate that I should stick to having fun, but every now and again I surprise myself.
No time to hang around, going to squeeze in an extra 10km on the way home from work.
