Hello Bloggers
Today started well riding up a beautiful valley, well valley stroke mountain, see the photo. Amazing views all the way and a fantastic downhill to follow. After the dark times of yesterday in Warrington and Wigan the ride was wonderful. Both knees aren't hurting nearly as much and a good nights sleep meant everything. Definately need to come back to this area of the country to visit again.
I had a sandwich in Appleby and plodded on, the afternoons always take a little while to get going and are the time that I feel at my most lonely. I don't really know why and can't quite pin point what it is I am feeling but it is at this time that I think about the money you have all helped me to raise and the people following me. The comments are great so keep them coming.
Bridget - my knees are hurting me the most, surprisingly my bottom is not hurting at all, but I do feel the saddle a lot more as the bum gets more muscle - good tip fat bums are best!
Emma - I hope a lot of the kids are following and just not put their names down
Paula - thanks for all the support
The food is fantastic. After burning 11000 calories a day I can eat all I want - when I finished today I ate: minstrels, revels, coco pop bar, raisens, steak and chips, a bowl of mussels and a cadburies cream egg and I am still hungry!!!!!!
Keep the comments coming.
What is about mums and photos and closing their eyes or pulling funny faces!?
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, you can't keep eating like that when you come home, although there are loads of Easter Eggs sat here waiting!
Have you reached £1000 yet? That Maths trail will be brilliant!
i hope you had a great easter i know i did
ReplyDeleteGlorious day here in Ashford. I too have a big bottom and hurting knees, but so far the big bum has been of no advantage when planting my spuds and sowing carrots this week. Keep pedalling !!
ReplyDeleteHey Jonny,
ReplyDeleteFantastic progress!!
Now you're entering Scotland, here are some activities to enliven your afternoons:
1) To meditate on why the Southern Uplands are called uplands when some bits of them (mercifully for you) go down (this is the same question as to why the South Downs are called downs when lots of bits of them actually go up.)
2) To verify, through empirical obseration, Billy Connelly's assertion that that it's unfair to tease the Scots about their failure to tan in the sun - In his words: "Actually what people don't realise is that we're actually a 'pale blewe' colour and it takes a week of sunshine for us to turn white"...
Bridget & Paul
Paul thinks it's not 'loneliness' - it's the fact that lunch is over, and dinner is far away. Guys are not good at recognising 'emotions', so whatever it is you feel, it's more likly to be hunger-related... ;o)
