As you all know, we have a tandem. It kind of came with the house. What good is a tandem if you don't use it? I've had this dream for a while now: cruising through England on a tandem. Yesterday, I got a taste of what it'd be like.
As you all know, people who cycle a lot have cool pants so you don't hurt yourself where the sun never shines.
We didn't have them.
Obviously, because we can't possibly get up before eleven o'clock, we weren't cycling until about half past twelve. It's okay, though, because we are TEENAGERS. What use is a teenager if you don't use it?
As you all know, the weather here happens to be fantastic. I have no idea why that is, because the sun simply never shines in England. It's probably because the sun's missed me or something? I have no idea.
As you all know, in England, it is custom to have an english breakfast, so we couldn't possibly have been in England for ten days without having had an english breakfast. The scrambled eggs were awesome, so were the sausages. The beans were a little cold because ONE OF US had left them on the table WAY too long. I'll give you a hint as to who had left them there, it WASN'T ME. The bacon, it was well done. However, when I looked at it on my plate, I thought 'I don't feel like peeling the fat off.' So instead I threw it in the pan again (literally threw) and made sure that it was nice and crispy.
So that was breakfast.
After breakfast, as you all know, we got the tandem and cycled. And cycled. And cycled. And cycled. Aaaaaand cycled.
Darn, I thought it'd be about twenty minutes to Selby, well I was wrong.
When we got there, I was wishing I'd brought my cool pants with me.
I didn't.
We got to the amazingly beautiful city of Selby (which happens to be a real dump). We cycled all this way, just to look at some bricks and factories. BUT THE VIEW WAS AMAZING.
Well actually it was terrible.
And then WE HAD TO CYCLE ALL THE FRIGGIN' WAY BACK.
I LOVE CYCLING HAVE YOU NOTICED?
We hadn't got enough to drink with us and our backs were hurting but we were feeling AMAZING. Because we had ACHIEVED SOMETHING. We had cycled to the very only place around here that was NOT pretty. HA!
So when we got home you can imagine the way we felt. It was a good day, definitely not shameful and I'm happy we've done it.
BUT. JUST. THIS. ONE. TIME. BECAUSE. I. AM. NOT. CYCLING. TO. SELBY. EVER. AGAIN.

Burgemeester (Selby):
Dear Sir
I am sorry that you did not enjoy our fine town. We have spent many years making it into the dump that it is today - the main reason we exist is to make people realise how PRETTY York is. Anyway, than you for visiting - we hope your ARSE feels less sore very soon :-) -
