The loose link in the chain...

Hola encadenaos
Done another 67km training today but came off hoofing it up a hill out of the saddle - chain broke! It was the loose link that is supposed to make it easy to get the chain off for thorough cleaning - not the best time for cleaning! I must have done something wrong somewhere - get it checked out tomorrow. Luckily managed to head left towards the grass verge but shoulder and knee still took a bit of a hit. I saw my life flash before my very eyes... the whole trip could have been in jeopardy yet again... Oh this life on the edge... Si

Journey over the border

Well, not long to go now as they say. Few niggles with the dodgey knee, know what I mean, say no more... Been out to Flint today down country lanes, farmers' fields and the "5 route" joining Chester and Flint which is really well signposted. Clocked up 66km. The 82km trip last week with a guy called Jeff I met on the Wirral Way shocked the knee into reaction and put the whole Spanish trip in jeopardy... This will be a poignant moment in the film version!...

We got the sponsorship forms and collection buckets from The Marina Dalglish Appeal this week so hoping to start an intensive fortnight of campaigning to raise as much as we can and then get on with the ride itself.

Not long to go now... just 790km.

Take it easy
