oooh ahhh oooh ahhh oooh ahhh... aching buttocks aching thighs unseen crowds unseen skies between the shoulders lakes of fire stinging eyes on the spinning tyre calves and heart will explode grip the handles eat the road kilo meters whirring chains from Revel to Ax 3 Domaines the body's racked the body begs pressing down on un-stretched legs far beyond un-melted snow want to stop but miles to go... oooh ahhh oooh ahhh oooh ahhh...
