Yes friends, my first sick day in all the years I've been on the tools here at The Weekend Australian newspaper and multimedia platform, but concussion will do that to you. Note to other weekend racers and rally drivers: wear your Hans device even when testing.
OK. All your favourites are back today: Hamo, Sebo, Chucko, Micko and Neilo. Neilo? A couple of weeks back architect Neil Campbell from Little Horkesley, Essex, set a new world men's cycling speed record of more than 280km/h.
Not only was Neil about 30 per cent slower than Denise Mueller-Korenek (who as you may have guessed is the opposite gender to Neil and holds the title as the fastest person on a pedal cycle) but both Neil and Denise were only able to go so fast because they were in little shed-type structures on the rear of petrol-driven cars.
In Neil's case it was only a Porker Cayenne, but Denise, being a real person, was pedalling her heart out behind a 745KW dragster driven by one of the fastest women on earth as we know it.
Talking of temporary people, The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is held in more than 700 cities across 110 countries, with men, women and others riding classic and vintage-styled bikes wearing what passes for smart clothes raising money for prostate cancer research and men's mental health.
