Last post for a while 07:57 - Sep 4 with 18628 views | bluelagos | Off tomorrow to Penzance to start Sunday morninng on a 1250 mile ride from Lands End to O'Groats. After gettng to Bath we cross the Welsh border before skirting the Peak district on up through Cumbria before skirting the weat coast of Scotland via Oban, Ullapool and finally JoG. So far have managed 3950 miles training, longest ride 72 miles, most challenging ascent 3000 ft in 30 miles. The longest day will be 82 miles, the biggest ascent 9000 ft the day we ride to Skipton 3 crashes so fsr, only 1 at speed, the other two unclipping fails. Attacked yesterday by a wasp that got inside my mouth and left me looking like the Elephant man for a few hours. (Pic on the link) Paying for the trip but seemed silly not to raise a few quid for a good cause too. Chose an Ipswich based foodbank that I know help the most needy, when they need it. https://localgiving.org/fundraising/Nick-cycling-LEJOG-FIND/?fbclid=IwAR2ljCDt6V https://www.findipswich.org.uk/ Thanks to all who have already thrown in a few quid and any more gratefuly received.

The Quantocks are lovely. DM me if you want a cup of tea in Holford and I'll see if my Mum is around. You'll have a great morning and then a flattish trip across the Somerset Levels. Where are you having lunch? Glastonbury? |  |

Well I was referring to a nice hot bath - I'm sure I have no idea what your apparently somewhat muckier mind was conjuring up! |  |

I'll admit it, I'm a wrong un. For eample, I've spent the last few minutes thinking about Blue_Lagos' backside - it must be a bit raw after being pounded in the saddle for a few days. That can't be normal behaviour, Shirley? |  |
