Posts before this one...

They're all from my mobile so a wee bit pants. I need to get mail or MMS sorted on my phone so I can blog my events from the event. Next thing I do this year I'll have this sorted so, God willing my blog will be good... for once.. The previous blogs are from 'The Thatcham to Tipton' ride. Completed yesterday.... Another entry to follow with the real trip.... Thatcham to errrrr... Redditch, via Stratford, Banbury and Oxford.

Banana Stop

Day two, we're off to a really slow start. Too many gates and poor path ways making life hard, tow paths that are just lumps of grass mixed in with more lumps of something. :-) Not to worry though, soon on the national routes with flat surfaces.

Day one complete

Oh well, we finally made it to the room. After a couple of detours in Oxford we put in the long hard slog to make up the last 20 miles. Its been a great day; the ride along the Thames is really tough though its on grass and dirt tracks that's really hard going. Tomorrow we have about 10 miles on canal and the last 55 is on the national route no5 in to Redditch town and Terrys house for the finish.. Thats it I'm off to eat.

We're 32 miles into it, just ahead of Oxford on the Thames bank near RAF Benson; so have stopped off to eat. Egg mayo sandwitches, cereal bars and bananas. 25 miles to go until we get to the hotel. Happy days...

When I started all this it was all in Beta version. Now you can all sorts of gadgets and gizmo's on here with editing the HTML like before. Cool. Bring on the good stuff, I might even add some pictures and colour in there. What a day today has been, I've been to three church services.. One at St Barnabas with Josh, sticking, cutting and gluing, making all sorts of things. Then over to St Mary's to help out the ladies setting up for lunch, then to the Broadway with 'Churches together people' and finally back to St Mary's after lunch for the final hour. I love Easter... It has new meaning to me. As part of life now it's the best celebration in the year.. dare I say it.. more so than Christmas... Today is a strange day remembering the Lords death and why the day is called good. That...
