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

day 8 arran

camping at side of the ferry port.we were up early for the first ferry 8.50.i rode on to the ferry turned round to see the door been lifted lucky the ship hand saw kellie daudling and lowered it again,sometime she want a kick up the arse.the ferry bloke said she was lucky they leave no end of cyclists that dont realise they dont waist time.
lovely tea room by the golf club the pavillion.from there it was up the valley what a bas**** of a climb when head winds and driving rain,but on top two cyclists came past and donated £5 each to the bucket(.its amaizing how we are getting donnations on route the bucket and recumbent seam to attract.scotland has donated £196 at carlisle kellie wanted to count it she does nt think the english will be as genorous)anyway a wet slog to brodrick ment we just caught the next ferry,we had tea on board but at the other end it was raining even harder,we found a self service b&b,only problem with that was there was only corn flakes etc for brekky.
