Saturday 6th February.
After a quick rummage around the garage for gloves, we are off on our second training session. This time we are taking it seriously and going on a road only voyage, complete with long trousers, long socks, hats and gloves (thank you Craig for the Sparco work gloves).
We decided to follow Kris's internal Sat Nav and head straight to the nearest diner! (Starving Marvin's on the A40). Thirteen miles later we arrive at Kris's destination, but the warm fingers motivated us to continue our journey to the Ace Cafe! (A place that will always remind Kris of Bruce and the many cold evenings spent looking at Minis).
After refuelling and heading for home, it became apparent that we did not appreciate how much downhill there was on the outbound journey. All in all we were very pleased with ourselves, although absolutley shattered with legs like jelly. Cycling is not easy!
2 hours, 22 miles. Getting better!
Kris and Louise

About Me
- 'Bruce would have driven' London to Paris Bike Ride
- Darren and Craig wanted to do something mad to continue to remember their Dad, Bruce, through a fund raising effort. Craig lives outside London, Darren outside Paris. Obvious. RIde from one to the other. So during Easter 2010 the boys and around 10 other crazies will ride from London to Paris - yes on push bikes. Of course Bruce would have driven and will now be wondering what all the fuss is about. All of those involved would love to try and make or beat the 4,000 pounds target. We all appreciate any support you can offer. http://www.justgiving.com/brucecox/
