Hi
Well that was a horrible drive up to the Lakes yesterday roadworks eveywhere, with lots of people who cannot drive. The Bed and Breakfast we are in is realy nice and like a home from home. I am going out for a spin around the Lakes later to check out the course as they had a lot of flood damage in this area.

Hi all
Had a nice 3 hours in the sun today. Just going around the lanes by myself.
Tomorrow will be different I am meeting JIF in Cardiff for their hard ride. It normally stays together for the first 1h30min then we split and the ride just gets faster and faster. Hard but great fun.
Off up to the lakes on Friday for the next round of the Rudy Project I like the course up there. I will do a full report on the race
