Super Cool ex RAC support van

 Just three days before we leave East Suffolk and head into the undulations of West Suffolk ! The support van has been kindly loaned to us by Christian and Abi and I have promised to remove all evidence that it has been in any Costa drive through's and any of the Greggs Deli emporiums. You know that joke "how do you tell the difference between a Greggs sausage roll and a Greggs vegan sausage roll"  .... yes you know the answer but I am not going to tell you the answer in writing just in case the lawyers are scanning for any such scandalous deformation 😎 

The van has some special livery and further photo updates of the artwork and safety warnings will be posted. I have just collected my Suffolk to Sennen XL T shirt which seems to be a snug fit. I think Des Kerridge got his team to sew an XL label in a medium just for a laugh. (Note to self post adventure no crisps or chocolate for at least a month).

Please do visit the sponsor page and see just how much has been raised and of course if you haven't it would be great if you can add your own sponsorship money and message.

What three words !

 Its a funny thing about discussing technology with the youth and saying how the jump from buying your trainline ticket or Ryan Air flight but printing out the hard copy ticket or boarding card eventually goes to "ooh lets risk it and take a chance on the phone". Then you get power anxiety and buy a battery booster pack,   Today we have walked to the very end of the Lands End cliff and then had a quick dunk (note not swim) in the clear blue cold jelly fish and seaweed infested bay. (The nerve receptors to the crown jewels screamed in protest and decided a retreat was required).  A few pints of cider sat in sunshine with the stragglers and the mood lifted. Then came the Clarkson bombshell from one of the gathered ...... have I mentioned about putting "bum - shit - bastard" into the what three words app for my location ? and then told it doesn't quite work like that. Once the person annon had been alerted to the principle and gone "ok got it its brilliant...

Time to saddle up and meet Old Chums for a ride ! (PG18)

 Today seems to be a blur - having been quite late to bed and awake early it made for a long day. Nick was creamed up by Jill (sunny morning) and ready for action and a long day in the saddle with an old school chum (Ian) from 45 years ago. Meanwhile vices for the van man man seemed irresistible and we are not talking about a cheeky red but proper van envy as a chap in the car park gave me the full tour of his VW interior. Zoom in and see the blue Record Fitters vice.,,,, oooh nice. van porn to get very hot over.  The horse was a particular morning hi-light and I knew that lunch was likely to be a bit dis-appointing post yesterdays extravaganza and yes my goats cheese and garlic quiche was lovely but not what us van drivers yearn for.  Some serious miles under the belt and well done the riders because it definitely wasn't flat and some car drivers were just outrageous. The weather forecast for tomorrow is not great so it maybe a very early kick off. Below are a few snaps ...

The "trike" and security issues !

 Just two days to go and I still haven't packed but importantly I have cut the grass anticipating it will grow whilst we are on the road. The attached picture is of Nick on his 3 wheeled chariot out on a training ride. One of the concerns we have had was the security of the Trike overnight and if you hadn't seen the news today a mechanics van of racing bikes were stolen from outside the team hotel. Actually the good news was other competitors stepped in and gave them some spare bikes but we would not have the same luxury as Nicks Trike which is a very rare beastie.  The link to Nicks fund raising page has now been improved so it will jump straight to the page without copying and paste.  https://www.givewheel.com/fundraising/1930/nicks-fundraising/
