The Clock Stops For Nobody

Well time has well and truly flown by and the reality of what were about to attempt is looming large.
Our training is complete and that can only be a good thing,though as Chris has eluded to we have had a relapse in the final stages and I have also been away for a week so no training for me for 10 days.

I personally would like to thank everyone for their kind well wishes and sponsorship and look forward to seeing you when we get back

keep looking in and the final chapter will be posted when we return.

au revoir

The Wembley Relapse - 30th August 2008

Well, less than a week to go and there's been a touch of a relapse - 16 hours of alcoholic indulgence!

In all fairness there was an excuse; St Helens were contesting the Challenge Cup Final at Wembley - and it was the first time in a while all 4 of us where together, the 4 being myself, Ste, Stu & Kai - reason alone to have a blow out!!

Anyway the day went well, Saints beat Hull (i'd write the score, but i can't remember), and we all enjoyed the sun, the lager and the chance to catch up on a few insults.

Needless to say, the day was over far too quick and before we knew it Kai had to shoot off to catch the train back to Bristol - nevermind - we'll soon plan something else!

It was then up to the 3 of us to carry on drinking into the early hours of the morning, something i instantly regretted Sunday Morning - not the best preparation for a 250 mile bike ride.

Anyway, as i write this, its Tuesday afternoon and the departure day is nearly upon us - roll on Saturday night when it's all over! By the time the next blog is written it'll all be done and dusted.

Till next time!
