I'm playing catch-up... having just completed Day 9 with a great ride from Cambridge to Ipswich and a nice run of gigs. (The only show I've been a little disappointed with was Swindon where I had a nagging feeling that 10% of the audience just weren't going with it... oh well.)
Unfortunately my Sat Nav has gone a bit haywire lately so producing these maps isn't as simple as just plugging it in and downloading the information.
Anyway... here's the route from Day 7 - Swindon to High Wycombe... a very enjoyable 62+ miles:
And here's the uppity-downity - as you can see, it was all going well but we did have to get into the Chilterns...
Loved the High Wycombe gig, Dave.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that you literally stood up for the entire show. I thought you might sit down for at least some of it, to give your feet a bit of a rest...
Best wishes for the rest of the tour.
I was at the Swindon gig and I can tell you that me and my sister were very much with you 100%. I think sometimes Swindonians will just buy tickets for a gig on name only without finding out anything about it.
ReplyDeleteI spoke to two people who didn't know that you were cycling the whole tour - they hadn't even considered the reasons of why you'd called it Sit down, cycle, stop and stand up!
So I suspect that a lot of the audience were expecting a similar gig to the Googlewhack adventure, and it took them a while to warm up when they realised you were doing something different.
Everyone I spoke to after the show said they'd had a brilliant time :-)
