Hi Fietser
That was an excellent idea you had, suggesting I request a tunnel under that last nasty climb
and yes, it was definitely not you that I was wondering about
I think you're describing the same chap as I was.
Out of interest, are you based in the UK, or did you (and possibly him) pop over for the day on the Eurostar? I was wondering whether rides like this, conveniently located, attracted riders from further afield.
