Welcome to our 'mini' bike ride.




We're off again ! This time down to Falmouth in Cornwall. Mary Ann's son Jack is coming to the end of his 3 years at uni down there and we haven't ever seen the house he moved into for his second year ! Sal has to see it too as she is his Godmother and feels the need !
So we are leaving from Putney Bridge on Friday 9th March 2012. This is near the beginning of the UK cycle route 4 which ends in Wales. Actually we are jumping off at Bristol and then heading down to Glastonbury and joining Route 3 which is part of the Lands End to John O'Groats route. We should take 7 or 8 days to do it soooo Welcome to the ride.

Our charity page is still up and running. PLEASE don't feel obligated as we are well passed our target but if you are feeling flush........

Our chosen charity is Cancer Research UK. Anyone wishing to donate please go to:

Hilly days are a coming!

We left lovely Luxembourg this morning and are now in Burtoncourt in France (I think!!!!) we seem to have been to Germany as well!. Cycled down a bit of the Moselle and amazingly found Rob parked up by the river with lunch and beers all ready for us. Up until then we had only encountered a couple of steep hills but oh boy they came later. Bottom gear on at least 5 out of 30 hills. Aches and pains still at bay although we could do without these 5-7 hour days. We have seen more cows than we have ever seen in a single week ...so, why no fresh milk in Belgium, Lux, Germany or France.? Rob had to bring some out from the UK. Have to to get Rob to the train tomorrow and then on to Strasbourg. Days are much cooler and a bit of rain today. Heres hoping for more sunshine.... speak tomorrow i hope
