40 miles to Funland - 25th May

The St Helens to Southport dash finally took place on Sunday, though it was a bit more rash than dash. Cycling 40 miles in one hit for the first time definitely took its toll.

While we were in Southport, we did use the opportunity to call in on Stuart ‘I know Billy Zane’ Morgan, who was laid up due to having his appendix out. Judging by his lack of colour, it may be a while before he joins up with us for a ride.

All in all, although the last 10 miles were a struggle, it was nice to be out and about in Southport, eating chips on the prom, a ride past the boating lake and a chance to revisit the scene of the infamous 2 front teeth!!!

I’ll say no more - except we still couldn’t find them.

The search for the teeth did come at a price; we had to forego a much anticipated visit to the British Lawnmower Museum, Southport’s premier attraction. I suppose there’s always next time.
For those of you who are interested in a visit to the museum, please check out the link below:

We did however; take time out before our return to check out Fernley Road, to take a look at the world famous maggot problem. You don’t want to miss these things! When you think you’ve got problems, there always someone else worse off than yourself!!

Stu, I’ll leave this one with you - These people have got it bad.
