Big ride out ?

Matey boy up to speed now ?

85 miles with over 7,000 feet of climbing. The full length of the mountain range, 2 big climbs, the 2nd one is 9 miles. I took it steady as I know what its like, really sapping, my mate is getting his strength back and is doing ok.
It´s a good 35 miles till the climbs start and we jumped on the back with a fast moving bunch of Germans and were averaging 22+ mph on the way down. It was like Von Ryans express on the way down.
Even at the top its up and down for a ggod many miles before around 6 miles of downhill. I love fast decents and a couple of Walsall lads came past hammering it downhill, so I jumped on following them and it was an absolutely mad descent. Cracking day out, shot now though.
Had to wait for my mate at the bottom in Pollenca as he doesn´t do mad descents.

oooops sorry! some how i read your post as 'youngest daughter' haha :tongue:
He hurt his shoulder/arm. he did insist he could go home on the school bus, but school being school, made me go collect him as 'he may need to go to A&E'.
This right here is why they should re-instate school nurses!
i'm still at school (16 years old) and i can say that my primary didn't have a sick bay/room (i don't think although i think there was a tiny room with a chair and a few plasters etc), no nurse and i'm not sure of the level of training of the staff but i think one or two were first aiders and in the secondary school i am at currently there is a full blown sick ward with the main nurses room with some meds and chairs and first aid bits and pieces and the computer to enter a record for every time someone comes in and then out the back there is a load of beds etc. nurse is full time, 5 days a week and a proper trained nurse to a high level (slips my mind exactly what training right now) and that's all she does
then again my primary school had about 120 students and my secondary school has over 2,500!
Cheers Ed
