Downhill all the way

I’m watching Would I Lie To You and a comment reminded me of a story my brother-in-law tells about a bike ride he and Vince went on when they were teenagers.
My BIL told the listener that they travelled a long way in a very short time. The listener said you couldn’t ride a bike that fast to which BIL said it was downhill all the way. In addition, the ride home was just as fast. When the listener questioned how that could be as it would be uphill, BIL replied that they went home a different way.
The photo is mine.

I love “Would I Lie To You”. The host and team captains are great fun, as are most of the guests. That story your BIL tells is funny, and very typical of a story someone like Henning Wehn would tell. He’s certainly not your typical “unfunny” German.

@JudyEv Bob Mortimer’s stories are the best. He’s a very funny man.
And yes, it’s still going. Series 19 has just finished over here and I’m sure another will be on its way soon. I don’t know how far behind you are, but hopefully still plenty for you to watch.

@MALUSE used to say Henning Wehn was English adjacent.

Going home always feels like it takes longer than any trip going to somewhere away from home. But, my guess is that your BIL might tell a few fibs once in a while.

@JudyEv Of course they are. 
That's like my brothers saying they are the handsomest men in our family when everybody knows I'm the best looking man mom had.

That was cute.
When i was still riding my mountain bike I would quite often find a hill and ride down it to enjoy the breeze in the summertime heat. Ahhh.

Well that was witty enough!
My own response to such a wit would perhaps be something like a PJ of mine !

That was our friend. She walked the Bibbulman track and we supported her along the way. We had a big bus as a motor-home at the time and each night she could have hot shower and a sott bed. This is a photo of one place where we waited for her.

Life has many secrets in regards to a better way. It would behoove people to try to find them.
