I just bumped into Stevo – he asked me if I was joking about cycling the length of the country.
“Nope, it’s to raise money for Cancer Research.”
“There must be easier ways to raise money, cruvvers.” said Mr Stevo.
That’s a good point…there must be, but they wouldn’t be half as much fun. (Keep telling yourself it’ll be fun, Paul, keep telling yourself it’ll be fun. You’ll be OK.)
It’ll be fun. It will. Really.
(If it’s dry, downhill, there’s a good following wind and I can attach an engine to my bike)

My brother, a long distance cyclist, (regularly rode the London to Brighton trip of a weekend), swore by newspapers down the cycling pants. I looked at him as though he was mad!
But actually, I don’t know why…but it works. Some boffin will no doubt explain why / how, I’m sure of it
