Tom trains for French roads

On a specially designed assault course in deepest Herts Tom has been at practice in secret for the unique challenges posed by French roadmakers. His wish to remain anonymous during these exercises has extended to heavy investment in a fine example of the wigmaker's crafts and the latest in ATB design. Despite one or two spills, as our snapper's clandestine shot here anticipates, Tom remains phlegmatic, no doubt heartened by Nathalie's recent acceptance of a proposal she found she could not resist (Congratulations all round and apologies for failing to report this sooner). No reports yet, though, on what this particular prospective tumble may have done for him but what seems to be about to happen brings tears to the eyes.
