You'll all bear careful watching from now on that I know you are masters of
disguises.
I'm not surprised though, bike riders have always been the most devious and
sneaky athletes out there.
Just don't let any body know that you know that I know you know because we
don't want them to know.
Know what I mean?
I'll probably have to hide from the Carabinieri knowing that you'll all be
up to no good and lots of deviltry.
Best place for me to hide will be in Milano on the rush hour garlic express
commuter subway trains.
Salami and Cafe expresso breath to blanche your eyebrows while standing hip
to hip with ragazzi who bathe once a week (maybe). But, they do love
cycling.
A sure location the polizia stays away from.
Oh well, anything to help out my CR buddies.
Buon Viaggio, tifosi.
