Just hang on in there, you will only have to do this ride once, but the memories will last forever!<br />Good Luck and Stay Safe<br />OJ58Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02329901765206422561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-65816974141910741762009-09-03T17:43:23.336+01:002009-09-03T17:43:23.336+01:00fantastic gig last night in taunton Dave, thank yo...fantastic gig last night in taunton Dave, thank you so much.

I definitely wouldn't fancy doing it alone - the company I've had has helped enormously so far. I reckon I could shave 12 days off the ride - if I wasn't doing 2 hours on stage every evening as well - but the combination of shows and cycling is plenty exhausting enough as it is without increasing the mileage.<br /><br />The article doesn't appear to have a link to any sponsorship page... if you know how I can sponsor him, do let me know...Dave Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260701102207639816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-4229640054006162122009-09-03T07:34:10.144+01:002009-09-03T07:34:10.144+01:00You used to cycle everywhere when you were 16, Dig...You used to cycle everywhere when you were 16, Digger? What's the excuse for not still cycling now. It's the perfect way of getting around town, quicker than the car in most cities, keeps you fit, and is generally a good thing. C'mon, get back in the saddle! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-4874833363902937062009-09-03T05:23:49.691+01:002009-09-03T05:23:49.691+01:00Loving the travel-blog like story.
