life is good
- so glad you guys are having a great time !....... enjoying your reports ..... it's almost like we're there with you on your adventure - - everything's fine here in the Pacific Northwest! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kOZQTjeRAo) -

But Jim you are wrong!
It is a popular thought that miserery loves company...but I do not totally belive that...without looking back on previous responses, I think you & I would find that this blog had the most responses...I believe that humans enjoy stories of the human spirit prevailing...if your trip was one of all downhill, the wind at your back, and the gentle beams of sun light caressing your face gently,we would all barf at the ease...it is the triumph of the human spirit that we love...thank you for taking us along on your adventure...tk

I've been out of town then catching up on work so I've read your past 8 posts in one sitting; getting through England and into Scotland in one morning. Well, I had thought I'd not ride today as the roads area a bit wet and it looks like it might rain, but after reading this latest post I've been shamed into getting on bike biking gear and heading out for a short ride this morning. Enjoyed catching up on your progress, the pictures are wonderful. Have fun in Edinburgh - a beautiful town.

A great story teller
We've just discovered your blogs today. We must say we enjoy reading blogs by cyclists and yours did not disappoint. What a great experience and the kindness of people never fails. Happy travels.

The only way I can top your account, Jim, is to remember such a day and also being lost...after at least 4 more hours of biking we found ourselves back at our original intersection. Don't ask about how that happens and I hope you don't find out (back in the day of bad paper maps) As for you 4...on to sunnier climes or warmer pubs at least. Shannon and Grant

Have enjoyed your blog about your travels...travails? You are all such good writers! While hiking the Cotswolds last autumn, we too enjoyed the biting wind and the face-stinging rain that also exposed our rain gear as being somewhat inadequate. But, for some reason, it was a joy. Enjoy the day(s)....Rick

Looking at your photos, you folks are none the worse for wear. Quite the opposite, you group photo looks like life is treating you folks very well, hills or no hills. It's great to read about your adventures, thanks for posting so regularly.

Really enjoying all your entries. Guess it's good to have some harder days either physically or weather-wise, makes for a better story. Bamburgh Hall looked and sounded wonderful. I'm imagining 1000 sheep and the number of dogs they must have to herd them all, probably border collies. Keep on rolling!

Hogwart's Station?
Hi K&K and K&J, Loving your posts, and impressed with your progress. You found the same train line that we rode through the moors from Pickering to Goathland several years ago. It was a lovely day trip (in the sun!) for us non-bikers. Goathland Station appeared in the Harry Potter movie as the station for Hogwarts.

Your endless energy has my head spinning & my thighs aching. Dad still thinks your a little nuts but applaudes you just the same. He'll be delighted to hear about your English breakfasts - love it, thanks Jim!

English breakfast makes me happy
Having served Jim LARGE (and multiple) portions of food, and knowing how he likes it in big, delicious quantities, this entry just makes me happy. Glad you're getting your fuel, Jim. Love to you all. Colleen (you don't want to know too much about black pudding.)

Monkey Butt Powder
Hope you are rationing this for daily wear and tear! I am impressed with your stamina and glad all four are still on speaking terms. Love, Mother
