This is Audrey (see www.dartsculpture.co.uk), Carrie (Sister in Law) and Kanye (nephew). They met me in Okehampton for lunch. This was a great motivator! If they hadn't been waiting I might not have made it! Kanye has to grow a bit before he can reach the pedals, but I think he has potential...
While on the subject of motivators, so nice to get a good luck text from Trish this morning too. Trish joins me from tomorrow lunchtime to Bromyard. I'll now have co-riders with me on this trip all the way from Whitminster (nr Bristol) to Glasgow. Any takers for Glasgow onwards?
Lord knows how I am going to get to Taunton before night fall but here goes . .
Heroes: Kanye (the motivator)
Villans: That strong, cold northerly wind across Bodmin moor. The prevailing wind theory isn't working!
i-Tune of the day has to be an offering to the Wind Gods - how about:
Any Way the Wind Blows - Jerry Fish and the Mud Bug Club - Buy it for 79p through iTunes Music Store, or just click on the listing to sample....
More later . . .
