I came back from the last one via the a14.

It was absolutley soul destroying, even when Mike and I were filtering along in the dirt on the central reservation...

Even upping the pace well past *** was boring!

And me... dont forget me!!!

Ferrero Rocher

It doesnt have to be my rideout, im quite happy to go with anyone else's suggestions, im just trying to get us all together again before September

Red Lodge seemed like a good starting point because the furthest any EARers had to travel was 50ish miles. It is a shame that the A14 is so dull though, but worth it for a good rideout.
I thought, with my route, that any madlanders could finish their rides at mine if they wanted and head back home from there to avoid the A14 back from Newmarket.

I dont really know how good a route it is, ive done most of the roads, but never all at the same time. Personally i like faster roads than the very tight twisty's, so im definitely open to other peoples suggestions as to how it could be improved.

How's things going Skip, good I hope?

Top tip, if you go onto bottle feeding, don't discard the bottle cleaning brushes. Good for general bike cleaning duties, but don't then use them for cleaning babies bottles!

I have to admit its quite tough at night - during the day he is a little angel but he seems to be quite alert at night times We were up for an hour every 2 hours last night and couldn't seem to console him - brought him downstairs and I think he just wanted to up looking around - at 2am!!! Still other than that its going well, Amy is having to express the "good stuff" but at least he is getting that rather than formula - we are both fed up of listening to the "whrrrr whrrrr whrrrr whrrrr" of the pump though!
