It was the inaugural ride of the ‘lycra Lads’, Andy Nixon and myself. We did a nine-mile ride in just over half an hour, which isn’t bad considering that I’m a plodder rather than a speedster and it was fun. Russell couldn’t come as he was teaching but he assures me that he will be there the next time we ‘surf ‘ the roadways of Warrington. We are having another ride on Wednesday and I’m expecting more people, it’s a sleeping giant. I would just like to congratulate the large white van that passed us (very closely) in croft…. You obviously make love alone. (Think about it). I have been slightly worried about the ‘dog ‘ situation in the desolate areas of the US. Mike, my friend from Yorkshire…yes I have Yorkshire friends, has cycled across America and has first hand experience of doggy attacks. I was going to carry Pepper Spray, but apparently it doesn’t work on dogs…they don’t have tear ducts. Am I being spun a yarn or is it true. Any advice would be appreciated.
I went to town today to see about a bank account for ‘The Charity Ride’. I cycled behind the bus and it crossed my mind that I had saved £1.50…. then I thought, why not cycle behind a taxi and save a fiver…. Education it’s a wonderful thing.
I’m editing a video for the NHS over the weekend, but I do intend too get some cycling in. I’m going to have to put the miles in. As they say ‘ train hard, fight easy, not that I intend to fight, unless the doggies get naughty.
Daniel, my son who is in the army has told his mates. They have seen the spoof video and keep quoting lines from the video to him. I think that is brilliant, typical of the humour that I love about the armed forces. Keep it up guys.
