Anonymous asked: well done today boys, impressive mileage...where is your next planned stop?
Anonymous asked: Bob, How would you sort your arse chaffing of the 240 mile round trip??? I don't think tacun powder will do the trip, maybe some old scholl petrolium jelly!!!!

Return to London
Just got back to London and have parted ways with seagul, sad times - as no longer are we going to be pushing those gears up those never ending hills!! It will be strange not challenging ourselves to get to the next milestone each day, the constant banter will be sorely missed. We have spent 5 days on the road, met some incredible people and achieved something that we will forever be proud of!...
Paris - our day off
After a pretty sketchy night sleep in Alices amazing flat ( French singstar going on until 0300!!) we woke up and really got stuck In to real Paris. Carrying on our lomo theme we met Mark at the Paris lomo shop who gave us some free photo clips and chatted to us for ages- seagul panicked he had run out 120mm only to find a roll in his bag!! Mark was great and loved our story so far!!
We then met...
Paris - we made it!
So after over 13 hours we made it to Paris, it ended up at 140 miles in the end- so probably the hardest we have both pushed ourselves ever. We struggled today as the route was so complicated, the amazing rolling hills of the countryside were long gone and hellish busy roads were far too common!! It was also difficult navigating through the forests that the ctc route suggested, but we made it In...
Final Tweaks
After realising I had 700C wheels, not 26ers, I thought I better dash down to the Hub to get the right size tubes for ‘The Pioneer’. Whilst I was down there I thought I’d treat The Pioneer, and my bum, to a nice new gel saddle. So the faithful stead has now been pimped out with some DMR V8’s, sexy gel saddle and some lovely Knog lights (courtesy of big bro, along with...
Quick thanks
Hi, just a quick post to say a huge thanks to everyone that has donated so far. Nearly raised 500…..
Last weekend before we set off...
I think seagul may have had one too many glasses of pop at his local discotheque on Saturday night

Sponsorship is looking better but still could really do with a few more pennies- would...

Big Thanks
Big thanks to Bro, Sis-in-law and little ones for a wonderfully generous donation. Many thanks
Training update
Earlsield to reigate, done!!! 13mph average so all is looking good for France- hope the weather keeps up
Another donation, from some pretty important guys...
Many thanks to Chris Williams of GlaskoSmithKline!!!! www.gsk.com They have taken the time to look at our trip and decided it’s something they support! it’s refreshing to see such a huge organisation offer something and back this adventure of ours! £30 of vouchers are on their way to pay for dental supplies - thanks guys.>
I'm Back......finally!
Apologies for going off the radar for a few weeks. Been on a work adventure. Silverstone, the Lake District, Edinburgh, Norfolk and I’ll be back at Silverstone next weekend.
Annoyingly this has put a huge pause on the training schedule! but needs must.
Stay tuned….
where has seagul gone?
Maybe he is off doing lots of training?????
