Rain, Pain and Dog***t!!
We start on a roll out of Nantwich in the busy traffic after our breakfast meeting re: the route.
It doesn’t take long for Paddy to start accosting drivers asking for directions which confirm what we agreed in the morning and planned on the bike Gps
The rain, and icy cold weather start biting into aching joints. Stopping to refuel & change clothes - the garage owner took pity on us and donated 6 Mars Bars.
We stop and meet Bob Hope (honestly) who is a big supporter after tragically losing his 25year old daughter recently to Cancer
Ploughing on through the icy rain we take another …….sorry folks falling asleep will finish tomorrow …watch this space
Ian.. In the words of the old scottish comedian Sir Harry Lauder.”.Keep right on to the end of the road. Keep right on to the end. Though you`re tired and weary still journey on” etc., Dig deep!! We are routing for you!!!! Dad.
Mr B - the NRT must be working overtime at the moment. Hope the weather is kind to you.
Keep it up
Ed
Get a grip man!
Anyone would think you’d been working hard, whereas, of course, in between visits to the canteen, internet etc, those of us left in work have been doing the real graft. I’m in real danger of eye strain staring at this screen in my nice warm office…….. Never mind - only a few more days and we’ll let you back.
Looks like hard work guys but keep it up.
Just picture the end and you will get there.
I was told a short message to remember for life:
“Don’t worry about things that you have no control over. Just get your head down, plough through it and before you know it the end will be there”.
I will take this to the marathon with me, so i feel it is useful.
Good Luck peeps.
Hey Dad, I really hope your doing well
we really feel sorry for you over here.
Just make sure you eat lots of haggis and it will surely take good care of you! =)
* ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE*
