Day 3 - THE BIG ONE




After a well cooked full english the guys left Ross on Wye at 8am leaving Kelvin to goto to the bike shop to get Russells bike fixed.

They then met up for some lunch (Cous Cous with feta cheese are you impressed!!!) during there ride some fashion pictures were taken of Stuart & Dave.

Notice Stuart is wearing the yellow jersey......

Who needs the BBC or Sky when you have Russell.

A little map reading on the way???









Our last stop saw us in the CoteBrook Shire Horse Centre where we met some lovely girls who kindly donated some money, they also looked after us with coffee and homemade flap jacks.. thanks again for the donation.



We also met some other cyclists who were on the same challenge over a 11 day period they were Steve Green supporting Daisey's Dream Charity & Andy Woodward supporting Exeter Academy for the Deaf.. we would like to wish them luck...

We arrived at our digs in Preston at 730pm and they are great with wifi access hence the update on the Blog...and look another one of Kelvins task fetching the ice!!!!Hero

    My walk to school is now taking longer as so many parents and children stop me to ask how you are getting on, which is fantastic, everyone back here are so supportive of what you are doing, keep it up xxxxxx

  3. Was thinking of you all today & was happy to hear you survived the "big one!" I don't know how you're doing it, but keep it up. Thanks for the blog - it's great to be able to track your progress from across the ocean! If Kajay's right & you're going around the world, please come to Canada next.
    Happy sleeping, Liz

  4. Just hope that Kelvin is managing to cope with the pace of ice collection and vaseline application. Poor man! You cyclists have it easy. I can't believe you are eating out every night Ollie, what's wrong with burnt meat on the BBQ??

    Very impressive mileage guys, keep it up! We are all supporting you from Woking.

  5. Guys, you are doing fantastically so keep it up. However, experience says keep Stuart away from the curry - or is that his incentive to make sure that you are all in front of him?

    Funny that there are no pictures of your lovely masseuse though...

    Good luck for the rest

    Andy, Rach and co
