So its late, late, late and the Blogster is drunk
It's a sad evening because one of the team leaves tomorrow. Tim (Saviour) is off to Northern Ireland for a wedding and we will be mechanic-less. He has been an invaluable member of the team, especially at breakfast when he recounts his dreams..... last night he dreamt that he lived on a planet full of monkeys with long finger nails. Despite them wanting to kill him, he ended up falling in love with one of them.
Its all getting a bit paranormal here: Last night Tim and Matt's room was haunted, they woke up and their bathroom was locked from the inside. Currently, Tim is very distressed because the toilet in his room just flushed all of its own accord. Tim thinks Matt has woken a Scottish Poo God and he has cursed us.
Blogster is scared he has offended the Stuarts and really doesn't want to meet them tomorrow in case they put glass in his food. Many apologies
The bike ride w
as long and hard. We spent the whole day cycling south on the A6. The start of the day was flat-ish but then we spent the middle of the day climbing Shap - 1430ft of pain. We then suffered after our exertions until we found the tearoom at Deerslet. Thanks for a lovely round of drinks and cakes. Thanks also to the ladies outside who added to our BLF sponsorship fund. One of the ladies also informed us that when she was in the RAF, the man at the back was nicknamed 'Arse-End Charlie' - how right she is.

(
Traffic; bad driving; abusive school children). We then hit Lancaster at rush-hour and Mark thought it would be a good idea to try and get through without stopping. A few near-death experiences but we made it - in fact faster than Tim in the van. A-E Charlie was not happy.

Mark has been suffering with a painful swollen knee for the last 2 days. He has named his pain Vince, like a good wife Vince is there all the time and just when you think he's not watching, he gives you a short sharp reminder of his presence. Mark took some steroids for his knee and we think this has made him psychotic. This is also how we managed to achieve our max speed of 32.75mph (breaking the speed limit) in one of his drug-induced rages.
Dave told us 'off the record' the his secret nickname is Dumpy.... your secret is safe with blogster.
Mike has the same physical symptoms as Mark and only eats the same food as Mark.
Matt is a big fat horse
Tim is hiding from Squidgeon (the space-pigeon trying to get in through the ceiling) and also Leslie and her incredibly hard brothers
Blogster is in trouble with the physioterrorists. Apparently Mrs Lambert (Snr) also has a gaggle of physios in waiting. Blogster is not trying to engender hatred. All massages are greatfully received, especially by Horse.
Today Distance - Far
Total Distance - Lots
Today Ascent - High

Blogster has had too much Whiskey to Calculate the above figure but will update you tomorrow.

Tomorrow - Girls meet boys. Boys get in trouble. Matt watches telly.
