Getting to Barcelona the hard way We are going to cycle to Barcelona this June to raise money for the Children's Hospices UK. The ride will be about 900 miles over 11 days and will include some difficult climbs, notably over the Pyrenees.
"Pain is weakness leaving the body" M.Beardshaw 2009
Charity Registration No 1103795
Check out our sponsorship so far
6 falls – no submissions (marks out of 10)
- Neish 4, arriving at the hotel in Barcelona Neish dismounts is style only to find that cleats and marble floors don't mix. Another one to that can be blamed on the drink and nothing to do with his lack of co-ordination.
- Neish 3, After arriving in Barcelona and sinking 3 beers, Neil slams on the anchors at a cross roads forcing the unknowing Neish to ram his back wheel and smash to the ground in spectacular style.
- Neish 2, just setting off after a break, taking a left up a side road, add gravel and an incline and you have neish on the ground for the second time of the tour. 6 for stupidity.
- Neish – 1, turning around outside Tours at 1 mile per hour. Blame the Garmin, or Jones cutting him up; a mere 3 for this one.
- Dalton – Best of the lot...a slide into the gutter, full of running water and 9” deep, followed by a kerb. A big 2 mph leaves him with a 6 overall.
Blow out (job) challenge
- 1. Leader – Eric – 1 minute 27 seconds (under enemy fire).
- 2.Neil – 6 minutes and no grousing.
- 2.Neil – 6 minutes and no grousing.
- 2.Neil – 6 minutes and no grousing.
- 3.Mike – 35 minutes, 32 of which was whingeing “I don’t know how to do this, where’s Brixton cycles?”
