Apparently Spiderman the film. Which is odd since I've not seen it. It might also be a simplification of something Churchill once said.

OMG*

I've just looked at where the start point is (hadn't bothered to this point). 80 miles just to get to the start. Eek! Now I know there are peeps travelling as far or futher but I just had to say something.

*Gosh - before anyone complains

So have I - but I also have a dodgy leg (so moving things takes 3 times as long) and a lazy housemate.
(Actually, the poor beggar's been working Satrudays for the last couple of months and so I didn't want to ruin his first free weekend for weeks too much.)
But thanks for the offer - I'll bear it in mind when I get round to sorting the loft!

S'great though, I can see the floor and everything! The new panels for the MG are all neatly hanging from the roof, nice n safe...

... I have (dodgy) shelf space again, a workbench, clear drawers...

... I can even afford more than a couple of inches leeway when parking the car!

Though I did discover a 24 pack of Coca Cola that was at least three years old that had actually exploded and was making one corner smell funny!

It wasn't a complaint!

It's a good thing I did notice else I'd never have made the start in time otherwise.

Priority will just be getting there on time, but if It's not all DC then my tyres should be that bit more scrubbed in by the time I get there.

If I do my route as a run (dunno if it's worth doing - need to get some opinions first) then it will be starting from my house At least for some peeps (Southam probably for others).

Only about 100 mile for me, so a nice little warmup then, couple of hours no problem, Knee? now that's a different story

Cheers Mark.
