It would be easy to jump back on the racing bike and rattle off 90 miles a day for a week & arrive at Land's End. So instead, to keep the challenge alive I have taken the option to pedal on using the little Raliegh fold away bike!!
I have done a few miles across Carlisle this afternoon and will begin in earnest tomorrow hoping to cycle to Kendal (over Shap) which is about 45 miles away!! Big ask for those little wheels!! Eeek!!
Too much knee levering I reckon!!
ReplyDeleteKeep going boyo!!x
Keep going Neil, God speed and all that. Its been great reading your blog, nearly took me 1hr to catch up its a great diary. Proud of you mate and I'm even more proud when I tell people what you are doing and see the look on their faces.
ReplyDeleteAlright Neil? Despite the lack of comments on your blog sometimes, take heart from the fact that loads of folk back here are reading it and the total raised is increasing nicely :-) Everyone's behind you, so keep battling.
ReplyDeleteLooking around the net on shin splints or a possible stress fracture, many weeks of rest are recommended! Stuff that, the low impact, comedy value clown bike option sounds good to me! Where the heck did you get that Raleigh then LOL ? Do you reckon that can get over Shap !!! Bloody hell, good luck. Bring back the Wilier.
All the very best. It's a superb thing you are doing.
Cheers Mopper
The bike was a total surprise.But if thats the only way to keep leg muscle strength up and recover then keep on the charlie chaplin bike.If that guy hannibal can get elephants over a mountain,you can make it to lands.good luck Dave S
