Feel free to call in at my place on the way down; there'll be a wild party going on and plenty of food and drink on offer - and frankly, I wouldn't mind a bit of moral support.
. . . . . . . . it's now after 4am and I wouldn't mind some sleep ! I feel wrecked, 'cos I've had a mega-stressful evening dealing with teenagers. Party is still ongoing
and I've no realistic chance of getting any sleep. At the moment, I'll do well just to drive to the ride, never mind cycle 100 miles.
I'm off now, for some black coffee . . . . . . . hopefully, I'll be able to make it to the start . . . a currently shattered pubby.
