Tickets to ride!

Today Nick and I purchased rail tickets to get us to Penznace on Friday 27th April. Slightly more complexity in arranging the tickets back from Scotland, but that will give something to talk about on our ride - all to do with the Kafka-esque nightmare of getting bikes onto trains. In summary, we (Nick and I) can be fully flexible but our bikes have to be booked and we can't tell when we'll finish the ride and so when we'll need to travel. So much for integrated transport.

That's Nick in blue, me in grey. By way of training, next weekend we'll be cycling from to Cheltenham to Hinckley and back to attend the annual re-union of familes who have adopted children from China. Some good practice, and hopefully an opportunity to raise some cash while we are there. Sensibly, the wives and daughters are taking the car! By Friady I hope to have my road bike back from the menders, where the rusted headset is being replaced.
