I'd like to thank big wheels, carbon XXX seatposts, tubeless tyres, the sun gods and Crispin for being the wind in our sails.
seriously tho' thanks Pat for the organisation and especially Shona for looking after me and poking me with a sharp stick at 5am when i really didn't want to get back on the bike.

Rhinogs
Aching, blistered and scuffed now. Two days in the Rhinogs really took it out of us. We haven't been scrambling and hiking for a while now and now we're hurting. No running today.
Had a new tent on loan from North Face. We tried out a Big Fat Frog - its a bit heavier than the Tadpole but has an extra loop in the front so that while one of you is messin' around in the main body the other can sit and cook comfortably in the porch. Would be great for storing wet gear too - we seem to do a lot of that...
Anyway, those Rhinogs are big and deserted, didn't see a soul on the hill. Lots of goats though, some big uns too. You should get out there, or maybe not - we like it quiet :o)

Bee Em Ex
Got the little bike out today at work after too long off and hell it's fun. A couple of us are heading down the track soon - probably monday week. If you're mad ferret let us know. It may even have stopped raining by then.

Toasted legs
still finding new back roads in the next valley. Joined up some of those with a blip along the canalside and kept myself amused for a few hours. rain stayed away and i can't help thinking a cross bike would be more apt than a Madone for this stuff.
watch out for the next one - lakes, 3 days, 150 miles - self supported, Dutch style ( oh, yes, we'll be opening all our own Edam and relying on no-one to carry those clogs )
ps well done to the Fred girls & boys - hear it was tough going for a bit.
