"Shall we take Gabby? " " She could do with a drive out just to turn her tyres round and give us the opportunity for an easy comfort break and a coffee without having to do into a shop or motorway services " It all sounded a good idea as she had not been out for the past two weeks and a run would do her good and keep her running in good order . However , she was running on empty after our last trip to Clay Cross . If we were to take her out we would have to head for town to fill up. Extra miles and a bill for fuel that would top out at around £200 if our last fill was anything to go by. A few weeks ago her tank ... read more

Suzy the motorhome still has not moved. I wonder if she will start when we eventually fire her up. She finally has some hardcore in front of her wheels but not enough for her to get off her driveway. Her new gate is up and slowly but surely we head towards getting her off the drive. Next job to build a ramp. and then her next stop will be new tyres and her habitation check . January is finally blowing out and we are around 88 days from our holidays. The weather seems stuck between misty days, rainy days and frost. The Gulf Stream is holding the weather down and it just won't move . We have had snow . A slight sprinkling on the Pennines and the Cat and Fiddle and those pretty leaf like ... read more

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Mrs Jenny Kvist for helping Alan Quinlan out with his fund raiser by baking a huge array of cakes and selling them today in the office. Sadly I'm not in the office today so cannot partake of this excellent selection. Enjoy gang and I hope you raise lots of money :-) We leave in 2 days now and start riding on Monday morning. There is still plenty of time to donate here prior, during or even after our ride :-)... read more

Early start this morning to head to the office in Cheshire for a morning sessoin of Matrix Training with my personal trainer. My legs were still feeling the effects of yesterdays 50 miles around the West Midlands, but Greg had zero sympathy :-) Just how it should be. Given that my week was impacted by travel and other comittments, I needed a good workout today as my next would be a few days away. If you've never heard of Matrix training, let me explain. You have a set of exercises and aim to cover as many as possible. You start with 10 reps of the first exercise, followed by a 10 sec break. You then do the 1st 10, followed by a second exercise of 11 reps, followed by a short break. This is then followed ... read more

Just completed our penultimate planning call with Dakanis and Vitas from Lithuania. Getting excited now...I've already printed off my boarding pass and just received another donation..yippee! Looks like it will be an early start on Sunday morning (3am), with a hectic flight, followed by a hasty rebuild of our bikes and then 50 miles to Ukmerge. Easy. Not sure about the prospective lack of hot water due to a boiler failure at the hotel especially as they had snow last weekend. Both John and Nick will be setting up their own blogs and I will link to them when they are up and running.... read more
