Heading south and a bit west-ish so far.

Go Mr Abraham, go!

Looks like he may be going for a sneaky early Gibbon traverse. Damn, I won't be able to get there in time to get a photo. We need a Gibbon Early Warning System.

If anyone wants a better view of Steve's regular passage through the gibbon and if you can find some spare change, maybe down the back of the sofa, then you could try this - http://www.fineandcountry.com/uk/for-sale/bicester-marsh-gibbon/ox27-0et/50031648

Looks like a Gibbon in about 10 minutes

GO STEVE

A bargain, considering the likely post-OYTT house price inflation that Marsh Gibbon will experience.

Edited: this, from the estate agent's description:

Marsh Gibbon is recognised for its cultural, historical and academic facilities. The village has many thriving organisations - Village Hall with a diverse range of activities and social events, active Church of England, United Reformed Church , Playgroup, School and PTA activities, Cricket, Football, Badminton, Tennis, Youth Clubs, Fishing, among others. It also benefits from two Public Houses, one specialising in Thai cuisine, a Post Office and Stores. The village is in catchment area for the Buckinghamshire grammar schools, Bicester schools and various private schools nearby including Ashfold.

Surely something's missing!

Yes, we have a Gibbon.

Don't worry, it looks like he's looping back for another bite of the cherry.

Jaded · « **Reply #10 on:** 17 March, 2015, 07:11:18 am »

That's quite sneaky, he looked to be doing a Bicester Fly-By but sneaked back for a Double Gibbon.

Wobbly · « **Reply #11 on:** 17 March, 2015, 07:15:00 am »

I imagine Steve's chortling to himself in the knowledge he's causing so much gibbon-related chatter.

Jaded · « **Reply #12 on:** 17 March, 2015, 07:25:15 am »

Could be teasing with a Triple...

Edited: this, from the estate agent's description (2016):

Marsh Gibbon is recognised for its cultural, historical and academic facilities. The village has many thriving organisations - Village Hall with a diverse range of activities and social events, active Church of England, United Reformed Church , Playgroup, School and PTA activities, Cricket, Football, Badminton, Tennis, Youth Clubs, Fishing, among others. It also benefits from two Public Houses, one specialising in Thai cuisine, a Post Office and Stores. The village is in catchment area for the Buckinghamshire grammar schools, Bicester schools and various private schools nearby including Ashfold. Furthermore the area has recently become even more desirable as its part in Sir Steve Abrahams new year round cycling record becomes more widely known by the general public.

It's a TRIPLE!!!

In Marsh Gibbon’s fair city,
The cyclists are so flitty,
I first laid my eyes on Steve Abraham.
As he rode up and down,
Through this quiet small town,
Crying “Marsh Gibbon”, “Marsh Gibbon. How happy I am.”

Polar Bear · « **Reply #16 on:** 17 March, 2015, 07:41:47 am »

Is he in a holding pattern?

CrazyEnglishTriathlete · « **Reply #17 on:** 17 March, 2015, 07:45:21 am »

Triple Gibbon before breakfast. I shall eat with a smile.

Climberruss · « **Reply #18 on:** 17 March, 2015, 07:51:19 am »

I think he's going round again!! Whoa-hoo! a Quad!!

Jaded · « **Reply #19 on:** 17 March, 2015, 07:51:50 am »

No, I think he's stayed going NNE.

I'm certain of it.

Three early Gibbons! Wow, that's going to make a stylish tomato ketchup dispenser graphic!
Can't wait to see it!
