I hope the wind's in the opposite direction next week.

Rode to Tynemouth first thing to check my timing for next week's pick-up. Head-wind all the way. Coming home was much more fun

I had signed up for this but yesterday my wife who was going to pick what was left of me up in Blyth in the camper has broken her wrist and elbow in a cycling accident. So now I either drive up to seahouses from lancashire starting very early morning then do the run to blythe and then cycle back to seahouses before picking up the car and returning to Lancashire.. or.. returning the sponsership money back to those that have already paid and canceling the rest. Its only the second of these options that seem possible..ah well always next year

That's a shame, mik. Hope your wife is OK soon - that sounds like a nasty break!

9ish, I think. Norm and I are being transported from Tynemouth at 7.00

We'll need to arrange a way to recognise each other at the start. Maybe those handy numbers that they've sent us...

I couldn't do the GNBR, but was sorry to note the death of one of the participants..

Sorry Norm- I was looking forward to doing the GNBR but had to stay in Pont on Sunday to help sort out ancient aunty problems... so couldn't get up to Seahouses as a consequence. Happily she was OK.

Fnaar's sad news about the man that died must have been a shock for everyone involved.
