The Fridays Tour

Not only was he on a Brompton the whole way, but most of us spent the week trying to hold his wheel whilst he took off down the road at a very unBrompton-like speed. Chapeau that man!

I feel a little better about being dropped like a blind roofer on that hill into Woburn now.

JOG, don't bother It's a dump.

I thought exactly the same when I finished my LEJOG.

Just stopped in Tongue for lunch. It's very slow going on my own. The combination of rain, wind and lack of moral support is telling. I do get occasional glimpses of scenery through the mist to lift the spirits.
Where is the Ross-train when you need it?
I do hope the Greg-express along with complimentary Turkish Delight steams past in the last 10 miles!

Alan is doing his best to catch up I think - fuelled by a full Scottish breakfast..

 

[clarion]

So come on - nobody's told us yet. Who won?

So come on - nobody's told us yet. Who won?

well I can't believe it would have been Dell not riding that heap of junk that was falling to bits under him

 

[TimO]

... I've been sunburnt, soaked, frozen, and nearly blown off my bike ...

So pretty much like a normal overnight FNRttC then?

Just back from not so sunny Cornwall so missed the last couple of days, congratulations to you all.

 

[MarkA]

Bastard, we hates him.

It's an honour to be called a bastard by you, sir!

Now in the pub in Durness watching the footie. Alan is 5 miles away. I have ordered his food and he should make the second half.
Oh, the last 30 miles of the ride, from Tongue to Durness is simply stunning.

 

[MarkA]

Forgot to add - the Brompton fell of the cliff at the end. Or was it pushed? It hasn't gone that fast all week!

 

[alans]

I thought exactly the same when I finished my LEJOG.

Aye,it is the sort of place where upon arrival yor first thought is...
"leave the engine running,we ain't staying"

 

[alans]

Many congratulations to all you LonJOGgers

 

[StuAff]

Back home. The coach must be nearly there if it isn't already.

 

[Sketchley]

Home sweet home, where are we riding tomorrow......

Thanks one and all. More later....

Eventually rolled down the hill to the stables just before midnight after a detour in Luton due to Hatters way being closed and some jobsworth in a discovery that looks like a traffic car(thought they were just on the motorways).If i'd known that i wouldn't have gone via friends in H R.
Tent is now draped over bales of straw and i slept in Reds stable.
