why

in 2009 with the loss of so many friends and mum,i decided that time had come to realise a dream,cycling end to end,but at near on 20 stone everyone thought i was crazy,a visit to the doctors had welcomed results with the advise not to diet ,take the training steady and eat a sensible heathy diet,and get regular checks with them from time to time,

out on the bike it was murder on my rear too much weight pressing down on such a small area,

the answer A RECUMBENT TRIKE ! and boy was it welcome.because i want to enjoy it 50 mile a day has been planned(20ish days)i have decided the only way i could afford it was to cycle camp,rough and ready but cheap

due to the length of the trip it will also be solo and un assisted,told you i was crazy

sheffield cycle friendly! what a joke

fishing meeting last night,so attercliffe to burncross(grenoside) wasnt going to take long,so i opted for the long route and to take the ice on a few tracks.following sign clearly marked as cycle route they are full of stupid fearn access barriers not trike friendly at all.i kept having to lift trike over horse gates as it wont fit through half of them so by the end of my ride i was well pissed off,if this is the sign of things to come it looks like jogle will be on roads only as i cant see me stripping all camping gear off at every barrier,

  3. I've got 3 guys coming to mine om the 31at, and bringing an assortment of trikes/bikes. On the 1st we're meeting Steve Marsden CTC, and Rob Wright who has a di blassi, in Millhouses Park, because one of the guys stopping at mine (he rides a trice?)wants to build one. So I'll be rubbing my thigh tops in a geeky way. But you are welcome to join us :)
