Title: The smell of Cologne...... 2013 who's going?
Post by: griff on January 20, 2013, 09:29 PM: You might think it's a bit early for this thread but logging on to FB this evening it seems that some of our Northern representatives are already well and truly on it :2gunsfiring_v1: top effort lads good to see you planning ahead ;)

So who's going this year? Will it be another road trip, or are you taking the plane this time?
And what will you be riding?

Think I might have to get booking a couple of days off work when I get in tomorrow :)

that was a long dark drive last time eh brett? or actually I should ask matt since you were kipping through most of it ;D it rained non-stop for 400 miles!
I would take the piss but I know how rough you were feeling that night, you did well to make it at all :daumenhoch:

looks like I'll be flying this time, with radisson so close don't really need the bmx but I could always try padding out the bike bag if they'll let me take it on the plane...

Post by: griff on January 24, 2013, 11:43 PM: was thinking of driving and taking bike, but going solo it worked out much cheaper to fly
radisson close enough to get away with walking though

Post by: griff on January 25, 2013, 12:27 AM: ahh apparently they're not 11 sperms in the Cologne coat of arms, they're tears..

'The eleven tears are a reminder of Cologne's patron, Saint Ursula, a Britannic princess, and her legendary 11,000 virgin companions who were supposedly martyred by Attila the Hun at Cologne for their Christian faith in 383. The entourage of Ursula and the number of victims was significantly smaller; according to one source, the original legend referred to only eleven companions and the number was later inflated by relic traders'

I still like to think of them as sperms though
