February 9, 201016 yr I'm out on the bike every day now, built a course round the yard and go like hell round it, and ride the creek section Scott style, I don't half get a sweat on and arm pump, have you even got a bloody bike yet thi fat lump. Only 82 days to go.
February 10, 201016 yr Author Only 81 days now fat lad, been out again today, what you been doing Bought a Gortex ski jacket the other day, it was priced at $350 so I bid em 250 cash and they bit, so I went homme all smiles but still hid it at the back of the closet so the old girl didn't give any greif. Well the other day she land's home with this Solomon ski jacket every bit as good and I tried it out in't rain see how it stood up for not being too hot while still keeping dry, it's spot on! she got it for $12 from the thrift store, I feel a reet tit now
February 11, 201016 yr Solomon ski jacket Weather so far this year over here you may be needing that come May?
February 11, 201016 yr Brilliant blog starting here "Ishy gets ready to play" Can you give us a daily update? PLEASE
February 11, 201016 yr Author Ok Ralph , 80 days to go now fat lad, got a bike ? Well I sold my 09 250 last week, and been riding the kid's 125 until I get a new bike, once the little popper stopped smoking it ran like a new un, poor little thing has never been above quarter throttle. In the past I have winged it a bit and managed to get round, but I know if I want to get round this year I better get my sad ass in shape. I don't like running or owt like that, so just ride as much as I can, since I will not be getting off the bike too much come May, one thing people under estimate is how far you walk each day up and down the sections, my plan is to limit this as much as I can, mebe once each day at the lunch stop.

February 27, 201016 yr you dont want to be sayin much Ishy I saw your seat and wellies last time......
February 27, 201016 yr Author Funny you should mention the wellies, just bought a new pair today, not that I will need them or owt like that, it never seems to rain properly up there.
February 27, 201016 yr Nowt wrong wi wellies for Scotland. I was the only one with dry feet last year . Tell a lie. When we carried the bikes through that big river they did get a splash in them I also had a seat for a couple of years on the Scorpa. If I hadn't I wouldn't of been able to stand back up after those little road bits!! See your on Sherco Ishy. Two of us are on 2010 models. Also that Scotland virgin beginner Cabestany is on one behind us. Should be good for a few factory bits We'll let him cary the spares. He's younger than us!
March 16, 201016 yr Author 47 day's to go, don't know were the past two weeks went, looking forward to it now, think I'm getting a bit fitter. Looking for a lift up the Fort for myself and machine Fri or Sat, from Silsden, will pay for fuel if anyone has a bit of room.
