TEA PARTY

English mountain biking term. To stop during a group ride and chat for ten minutes for no reason. Meetings also turn into tea parties. Both types of tea party are intensely annoying to people who are not interested in banal conversation about offspring, holidays, and new cars. Example: C'mon, we need to get going. Barney here has finished fixing his tyre, and there's a big black cloud over there. Break up this damn tea party.
