Emails

Thought I'd post a wee blog with some of the comments/emails of support we've had from people. We really appreciate you getting in touch - it gives us a laugh through the day :)



So Keith has a red raw rear end and Bob has a dislocated finger????  Some funny stuff going on with this man trip!

Doing well though chaps. Most impressed at the fact Grant and Bob have not been mistaken for two escapees from a nursing home yet.

I would have expected you to be done by now ;-}.  I love the term horizontal cycling but not the implication. Good Luck and Be Safe.

Dear Bob, Grant, Keith, John,

I would like to send you my best regards from Germany! The challenge you took commands my full respect! Not only thinking about it, not only talking about it, but doing it, this is real Black Belt spirit!

I hope you still are fit (despite some horizontal cycling), and in a few days will enjoy the late sun on a wonderful bright Northern Highlands night.

Stay well and good luck!

Kind regards,
Wolfgang





I see that someone has decided to try a different approach to reaching the final destination - fingers look a little sore!!  Is this the first horizontal event or are you only admitting to a few!
Good to see that there are still smiles although I guess you are all feeling a little sore.

Still enjoying the peace although it is a little strange - not used to all of you being away at the same time - no one to make my Cafe au lait and no hobnobs (finished the packet - thanks Grant)

Keep those weary limbs peddling - you are doing really well.

Hey carbonauts,

Good luck for day 4! So you are sticking to your original route then?

How is the weather and the bikes?

Gents,

Checked in as promised, believe it or not I am envious of your saddle sores. I wish you all the best and a safe journey. Thanks again for all the info in MoO.

Hi Carbonauts,

This is Helen, Grant's sister-in-law, just wishing you all the best for the rest of your ride, and being dumbstruck with admiration for what you are doing - I would be hard pressed to do 9 miles on a bike, let alone over 90 a day.  But why are you going south to north, IT'S UPHILL as any fule kno.

Joke of the day:

Two jump leads went into a bar, and the barman said, 'You can stay, but just don't start anything'.
love,
Helen




How it going guys,
No photo's of the inside of a police cell (from Bob), no joke of the day (from grant), no picture of the nights supper (I know that's you Keith), i always said John was the quite one.... What's the blog coming to.....

Hope all is well and arses aren't too sore! You seem to be getting the mileage under your belts (which is good), remember not long to go It's all down hill from here!!!!!


Cheers

Brian



Doing well boys. Remember its a long way yet so set a nice easy speed say 23 m/hr and you can have longer in the pub.
