When I fired up NetNewsWire and found the 1200 unread articles I knew it was going to be a long drag. Against my better judgment I found a passion for the ‘Mark all as read’ button, that was until I got down the the cycling feeds, something caught my eye; it was carbon related goodies. First up the new Time Trial machine from Trek, come on that just looks amazing, if your not convinced just...

I’ve been back for two days now and and I’m struggling to get back into the groove. Yesterday I was not really up to much so I spent the day trying to upload some photo’s of the trip and cleaning my bike. Today I finally sat down at my desk (home version) to find a pile of post and an in-box full of emails. The main task for the day however was to finish of uploading the photo’s. Lucy got a bit...

Start: Lands End End: Bridgewater Start Time: 7:20 End Time: 19:10 Distance: 163 miles Average Speed: Weather: No Wind, Sunny and Very Warm We got up at 6am, had some breakfast and got geared up ready to go. All of us excited, eager and ready to start. What we had been training for since the beginning of the year had finally arrived. We drove to Lands End and started to get set up....

To start with we made it! I am back and sitting in the kitchen but still a bit dazed and confused. Sorry for the lack of updates and when I finally get round to writing a full run down you will sort of get the picture. As I have a lot of gear to sort out and some wounds to sort I’ll just give you the abrevieated version: Day 3 was an absolute killer for me, woke up with a pain in my knee that I...

First off sorry for not posting yesterday, had a few problems. Nothing too serious we made it to Bridgewater, covering 165 miles but one thing we had not planned was the sun. Dave ended up with a mild sunstroke and I have severely burnt the back of my right leg, so much that I just hit the pillow early. Added to that the first day was one hell of a up and down event, I’ve never ridden hills quite...

I am now sitting in a Travel Inn in Hayle and to be honest I’m feeling a lot better than I was yesterday. It has been a long old drive just to get here and so far the weather has been great. We shot straight down to Lands End and had a photo taken, turns out the offical photographer does not start until 10 in the morning; by which time we want to be 3 hours down the road. So a bit of smooth...

I’m sitting here with a few butterflies in the stomach, not sure what to expect of the next few days. One thing is for certain; if the last 6 months of training have not helped there is no helping me now. Tomorrow morning at around 7:30 Dave will pick me up and we will join up with Harry and Rob and make our way down to Lands End ready for the off. Whilst chatting with Dave earlier we decided to...

Yesterday was a good day work wise. I have been set with the task of creating a new web site for work. The way in which we work has shifted, due to unstable oil prices and the doom gloom out on the British high street people are not responding to our standard sales. But the internet and in particular ebay are proving to be a massive source of leads. To which we have created Any Old Bag, this...

Sorry this should have been posted last week, but I’ve been having a few problems with my scanner! The local paper; Suffolk Free Press ran an article about the ride, it turns out my dear old grandma had generated interest through a family friend who works in the paper’s office. To which I was contacted and asked to organise a photo shoot at Rob’s shop. They got a few points mixed up such as Dave...

This time next week it will have started, we should have left Lands End and been making our way to the other end of the UK. I’m going to enjoy this week as it is just going to be a gentle cool down with no real training or exercise. If I have not got it in my legs by now there is nothing I can do in 7 days! The only real training this week will be mental preparation. Trying to get your head round...
