A cripple, a hipster & Keith Floyd in tweed walk into a bar

Post by woody » Mon May 04, 2015 11:07 am

.... In Bonar Bridge.

Hopefully we've just cycled the breath of the country and not been evacuated by helicopter at some point along the way. It's 2 weeks to go until Clarky, Smee and I suffer for your amusement. We'll be cycling cross the width of Scotland off road in a day to aid McMillan Cancer Support. Please give what you can and get a warm tingly feeling knowing you are supporting a great cause and enjoy watching the three of us suffer safe in the knowledge that we are hideously underprepared and woefully undertrained (hands up who's not been on a MTB in 10 months :wave )

Also we need to beat Andy's wife Ro....

We've set up a just giving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/AndrewClarkW ... ef=Default

Many thanks :cheers :cheers

Some pictures of yesterday's training run.

The rear rider reported a day rich in aroma.

Andy was a nice chap,

But he was a fatty and died on a bike ride.

Oh how we laughed as we stole his hip flask and carried on cycling.

Done. I'm expecting great things. Or at the least a hilarious tale of failure and injury.
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.

....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?
