Raws li peb tau sib sau ua ke rau qhov pib ntawm lub sijhawm qhib ntawm Kev Caij Tsheb Hla Tebchaws Portugal ntawm tus choj nqaim nyob sab nraum lub nroog nruab nrab ntawm Chaves, kuv pom kuv tus kheej raug yuam kev nyem rau pem hauv ntej ntawm lub peloton.
Rau kuv lub tswb nrov kuv tau dheev lub xub pwg nyom nrog tus nplawm-nyias, cov neeg tseem ceeb nab-hipped uas yuav kho tsib hnub tom ntej no raws li kev sib tw tiag tiag thaum peb cov neeg coob coob tuaj koom yuav ua café tsis tu ncua nres rau platefuls ntawm pasteis de nata.
Sib nrug ntawm peb lub cev, peb tau saib zoo nkauj npaum li cas los ntawm tib lub pwm, kev ua kis las zoo li peb yog cov yeeb yuj thiab zoo nkauj ntawm Lycra, khau, looj tsom iav dub thiab kaus mom hlau, thiab hla ntau lub tsheb kauj vab ci ntsa iab adorned nrog cov khoom siv hluav taws xob., qhov chaw hnub nyoog log thiab lwm yam khoom siv hi-tech.
Qhov nthuav dav uas cais 'lawv' los ntawm 'peb', txawm li cas los xij, yog qhov tseem ceeb zoo li qhov tsis tseem ceeb uas nws yuav tau ploj mus tsis pom los ntawm ntau tus neeg saib uas tau sib sau los ua rau peb tawm - nws yog qhov tsawg npaum li cov neeg caij tsheb no. tshwm sim nqa hauv lawv lub hnab tsho nram qab.
Kuv cov hnab ris bulged nrog nag cape, armwarmers, xov tooj, twj tso kua mis, spare tube, log levers, sun cream, handkerchief, hnab nyiaj thiab ob peb cheese thiab nqaij npuas kib los ntawm noj tshais buffet.
Thaum kuv khoov kuv lub tes tuav, kuv lub nraub qaum rov qab zoo li deformed. Ib sab ntawm kuv, lub ntshiv, lub cev ntawm lub 'siab heev' cov neeg caij tsheb tsis muaj teeb meem los ntawm qhov tsis pom kev thiab pob.
Yog tias koj saib ze, koj tuaj yeem tshawb pom cov ripples ntawm lub folded zoo kawg nkaus, wafer-nyias gilet, tapered outlines ntawm ob peb gels thiab ib tug me protuberance qhov twg lawv spare raj thiab levers tau zoo huv si bundled ua ke, tab sis hais tias. yog nws.
Tsis muaj dab tsi ntxiv cuam tshuam qhov kev sib raug zoo ntawm lawv lub cev. Ib feem ntawm kuv tau thov txim rau lawv. Tom qab tag nrho, peb muaj 170 roob roob hauv ntej ntawm peb, thiab muaj nag los nag rau yav tav su.
Thiab qhov tseeb txaj muag tau tshwm sim rau kuv. Kuv tau ntim txhua yam tshwj tsis yog lub dab dej hauv chav ua noj vim tias kuv xav tias yuav tawm ntawm txoj kev rau feem ntau ntawm hnub. Cov neeg caij tsheb ob sab ntawm kuv, nqa qhov tsawg kawg nkaus, tab tom npaj yuav tsev, hose thiab ziab rau lub sijhawm noj su.
Lawv saib tag nrho, tsis muaj zog, mob 'pro' tsuas yog los ntawm kev tsim txiaj ntawm lawv txoj kev ntseeg siab thiab cov txheej txheem ntim tshuaj ntsiav.
Lawv yuav ua tiav theem hnub no ntawm qhov nrawm nrawm, ua ntej lub chaw noj mov nres thiab yees duab lub sijhawm peb tus so tau txaus siab, yog li lawv tsis tas yuav ntim lawv lub hnab nrog cov khoom siv thaum muaj xwm txheej ceev thiab khoom siv.
Zoo li dag
Ntau tus neeg ua yuam kev ntawm kev xav tias 'saib pro' yog txhua yam hais txog yam koj hnav, lossis lub tsheb kauj vab koj caij. Nws yeej tsis yog.
Chris Froome hnav cov khoom siv kho kom haum rau Pab Pawg Sky thiab caij £ 12, 000 Pinarello, tab sis kuv xav twv yuav raug hais kom saib zoo li tus kws tshaj lij ntawm lub tsheb kauj vab raws li kuv tus phauj Agnes, uas muaj mob caj dab thiab hloov lub duav.
'Looking pro' yog qhov tsawg dua ntawm cov tshuaj pleev ib ce, cov ntsiab lus ntawm cov khoom siv uas koj hnav lossis caij, thiab ntau ntxiv txog tus cwj pwm dav dav uas txuas ntxiv los ntawm qhov koj ntim hauv koj lub hnab tshos mus rau qhov koj comport koj tus kheej ntawm terraces ntawm cafes.
Yog, cov ntsiab lus zoo li thom khwm, lub tes tsho thiab luv luv, hnav koj lub looj tsom iav sab nraum koj lub kaus mom hlau thiab tsis tu ncua shaving koj ob txhais ceg yog qhov tseem ceeb, tab sis qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev saib pro mus tob dua li cov fripperies saum toj no.
Nrhiav pro txhais tau tias xav tau. Koj yuav tsum mus txog lub xeev ntawm kev pom kev uas los ntawm yog tias tsis tau khwv tau nyiaj caij tsheb kauj vab ces tsawg kawg yog kev zoo siab ua li ntawd.
Caij tsheb kauj vab ntawm Britain txoj kev yuav tsis zoo li txoj hauv kev pom tseeb rau Zen zoo li kev txaus siab, tab sis yog tias qhov kev txaus siab koj tau los ntawm nws tau mus txog qhov chaw uas koj tsis txhawj xeeb txog kev hnav 'cov khoom siv zoo', koj 'tsis yog kev txiav txim siab ntawm lwm tus neeg caij tsheb uas xaiv los hnav hi-viz lossis eschew kaus mom hlau, thiab yog tias koj tau tso tseg koj cov plaub hau tawm thiab ncaws tus miv thaum koj Garmin tsis nkag koj lub caij, koj twb yog ib nrab ntawm 'saib pro. '.
Lwm cov lus qhia uas koj tau tuaj txog ntawm lub xeev transcendental no yog thaum koj mus txog rau saum toj thiab thaij duab ntawm qhov pom es tsis yog koj lub tsheb kauj vab propped rau ib qho kev qhia qhia qhov siab; thaum koj mus koom kev sib tw pro thiab nyiam cov neeg caij tsheb ntau dua li cov tsheb kauj vab uas lawv caij; thaum koj sau ntau cafes dua KoMs nyob rau hauv ib hnub ntev ntawm lub tsheb kauj vab.
Cov cim ntxiv uas koj tau mus txog lub xeev ntawm kev ua tau zoo, tsis yog tsuas yog saib nws xwb, suav nrog: xav siv cov lus, cov lus thiab cov kab lus ua tiav es tsis yog lub nrig lossis bicep emojis thaum koj tawm tswv yim txog tus phooj ywg caij tsheb hauv kev sib raug zoo xov xwm; nyiam saib Hnub Sunday Nyob rau hauv ntuj txiag teb tsaus es tsis yog nyob rau ntawm ib theem tiaj tus ncig saib; zoo siab coj tuaj rau tom qab ntawm lub club khiav thiab ua kom lub qhov muag ntawm txhua tus neeg tshiab lossis juniors; da dej, noj mov thiab siv sij hawm tsev neeg ua ntej upload koj caij rau Strava.
Tam sim no tseem ceeb tshaj qhov uas yog ib qho tseem ceeb zoo uas cais cov 'ua pro' los ntawm cov 'pretending to be pro': impeccable bike-handling skills. Qhov no tsis tau txhais hais tias koj yuav tsum muaj peev xwm ua tau luav dhia hla lub Fiat 500, tab sis koj yuav tsum tau caij muaj peev xwm thiab ua siab zoo ntawm cov pob ntawm lwm tus neeg caij tsheb.
Nov yog ib tug cwj pwm ntawm cov neeg caij tsheb uas peb txhua tus xav tau. Yog lawm, cov hnab tshos yog qhov tseem ceeb - hauv qab qhov pom kuv tej zaum tsis xav tau ob lub cheese thiab nqaij npuas yob rau thawj theem ntawm Caij Hla Tebchaws Portugal - tab sis yog tus cwj pwm.
Peb tuaj yeem saib zoo yog tias peb tso peb lub siab rau nws.
