Action 100 Cycle Ride

Having worked on the PR side alongside the volunteers who annually make the Action 100 charity cycle ride happen, Claire Thompson (otherwise known as Mrs Page) has committed to getting fit enough to ride in 2006 - its Silver Jubilee year. That's 100 miles from Bath to Chobham and it's going to hurt - lots! "This is my leap of faith and a public declaration that I'm doing the ride - without it, it would be way too easy to chicken out."

Rescued

Gary (Old Bag on a Bike) and his daughter come and collect me and the bike and make the last few miles to the lunch stop at Theale. I've come 65 miles and I don't want to stop now.

I can't face a baked potato for lunch, my stomach is in knots. Another banana bites the dust!
Gary looks at the bike. John's repair was better than he thought.

To get me back on track he drops me at Arborfield, which is home territory for me (although he did get lost on the way!) I've cycled around here practising, and we are right opposite the stables where the boys are learning to ride.

Cycle past home and off into the wilderness.

Spot some of those funny looking goats with floppy ears. It's opposite a paintball place - my mind, looking for entertainmant, surmises that they have been splatted with brown paint. Sad!!

About a mile on down the road, see a place selling goat meat.

Not a pleasant thought.
