And so it was that Team Philosophe and Team Bumptious formed a team of seven riders, and participated in the Team Time Trials. The all-important fifth rider was:
Gaius! With a time of thirty minutes exactly.
How proud he was.
........
The following day, Sweezus and Violetta were riding together at the back of the main peloton, somewhere between Olonne-sur-Mer and Redon.
Violetta: Can I ask you a question?
Sweezus: What is it?
Violetta: Why did you stop on the Passage du Gois the other day and go for a swim? Was it a hare and tortoise thing?
Sweezus: Hare and tortoise! What d'you mean? Oh you mean, was I showing off?
Violetta: Yes, were you showing off?
Sweezus: No I was overwhelmed by a memory, and had to stop. Riding along the Passage du Gois reminded me of last Easter, and a cycling holiday with Marie and Belle et Bonne. I took too much chocolate along.
Violetta: Tell me about it!
Sweezus: Well, I thought they would eat some,, but they wouldn't. So I....
Violetta: I didn't mean tell me about it. I meant I know all too well about TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE.
Sweezus: Ah.
Violetta: You're sweet.
Sweezus: Can I ask you a question?
Violetta: Sure, fire away.
Sweezus: What's in your bag?
Violetta: Paints
Sweezus: Paints?
Violetta: Our secret weapon.
Sweezus: It's good to have a secret weapon. Our secret weapon is Farky.
Violetta: We're in the same team now. Tell me about Farky.
Sweezus was just about to, when he realised that others were listening.
