Well it's early in the morning and we ave finally got to the day of the long journey up to John O'Groats for the start of the ride. Contact has been made from Hawick Rotary Club so we are looking forward to day three when we can be cycling from Perth down to there to meet fellow rotarians. But before that we will have two long days down to Inverness and Perth although I will tell you more when we are actually doing that later. Today is the start of a big adventure and one I have been looking forward to since I did it in 2001. Mike has been preparing well for the ride and Alan is a good support especially agreeing to do all the washing, ironing, cooking, cycling repairs, counselling as well as driving all the way with us. I must thank both of them and their families for letting them join the team especially Nicola & Stella respectfully for their patience and support -without that we wouldnt be able to do it. I of course can not finish this first blog of the beginning of the ride without thanking Celia for her support and putting up with my hairbrained ideas. While we are thinking of people Ben and Josh have promised to be good while I'm away and I have your pictures you did with me. Mike Amy Richard & Sian -thanks for your support and well wishes along with everyone else to many to mention.
I could go on rabbiting for ever but I will be back on today when we arrive at the start so keep in touch everyone.
Hi Alan, Diane here. Looks like I am the first to post a comment but don't know what to say - must be a first for me! Really hoping it all goes well and I will follow your progress with anticipation until we leave for Jamaica on Wednesday. Take care and good luck to you all. You are all doing a wonderful thing.
