Then There Were Three

Unfortunately due to a virus Annie has had to pull out of our LELA trip - and so the four become three. Get Well Soon Annie.

Well in a little under 24hrs I will be arriving in Penzance* to make (what I hope is) the short bike journey down to Lands End.

I have to admit that I'm feeling a little nervous - although this is not unusual before a trip - have I forgotten something? will the weather be ok? Although now I can add a few new ones - will my legs/bum cope? what direction will the wind blow?

Thanks to Dr Bike my new derailleur is now in place along with my new cassette. Had a little test run today and that ultra low gear certainly spins the legs - let's just hope it does the trick on the Cornish hills and beyond.

There's still plenty of time to sponsor us at http://www.justgiving.com/LandsEndLancaster. Just one penny per mile would be most appreciated (£5).


*Due to the ridiculous situation with bikes & trains in the UK - the other 2 are leaving Lancaster at 0757 and me at 0957. The train between Birmingham and Plymouth will only take 2 bikes meaning we have to travel on separate trains - phhh.
