To be honest I'm not looking forward to this cycle 72 miles is at least 7 hours in the saddle but its got to be done if we are to have a chance of completing the 100. The thought of a couple of scoops at the Hoop in Stock and a Mr Whippy at Shoeburyness at the end will get us to the finish line.

There has been a few complaints about the treatment meted out to Mike over the Romper Suit he was wearing on Sunday. Mike himself has admitted that the Baby Grow look is not a good one and said outfit is now destined for the bin. However there is a view from some readers of this blog that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Therefore below is a picture with yours truly in it and admits that he is in no position to take pith.

Just a reminder that all of us are meeting in the County arms at 8:00 to discuss the logistics for the challenge. Please email if you cant be there.
Ok chaps some hints on fuelling up for a big ride and staying fuelled up while your riding:-
