Fingers crossed!

Just got an e-mail from Kev saying that he and Anthony have managed to raise £500 so far - they've only been at it for a couple of weeks too. Kev is mentoring Anthony, who's only 16, and it's quite the journey for someone that age. He's raring to go by the sounds of it; dragging Kev out for daily rides, getting freebies, sponsorship and all of this has gone to put him in good stead. Youngsters aren't the useless bunch of louts that the majority of the media outlets would have us make out!

Chris, or "Bread Head" as we know him (not hard to work out), got injured in a football match the other day. His ankle was badly bruised and swollen - it's still causing him problems so he's off to have an x-ray today to see what the score is. Fingers crossed that he gets the OK as I'm really looking forward to catching up with him and spending some quality time together... but mostly to mock him when he realises how difficult long distance cycling can be!

On my trip through SE Asia - he said that he "would hav don the whole route blindfolded n towing an elephant carcass.. like a real man...". It's only fair that I want to see how he fairs without a blindfold n towing an elephant carcass.

Lets hope the x-ray doesn't reveal anything and that's it just an elaborate plan to try and get out of this trip without losing face!

NOTE: The X-Ray came back fine... Chris is clearly a wimp and he has no way of backing out now!
