First update

Well, I didn't think I would be doing this again for a while but I must have gotten the bug for this blogging ...but this time it is a bit different.  Me and a mate Clayton plan to ride our bikes across the UK from the Westiest bit of Wales we can find to the Eastiest bit of England in Lowestoft.  About 400 miles.  We want to do it in about 4-5 days.  No agenda.  We will be taking our essentials on our backs, bikebags, whatever ?

So far we had one trial run out in the snow, rain and wind and did a decent 34 miles.  Not a bad start.  Six months from now we should be heading down to St.Davids in Pembrokeshire with our bikes to set off, 70-100 miles a day.

In the meantime I will update this blog with training, stories, etc, etc as a diary of what happens til we go and all along the way.

Snow has stopped any rides out this week so a bit of indoor cycling sessions on rollers.  Note the sweat catching towel underneath.  Essential ;)  I actually fell off and shot forward 6 foot after this video.   Shame that, I could of got £250 off YBF   haha
