Bed

Heh heh well we both felt pretty bushed when we woke up, having squandered our precious rest day yesterday on hangovers, which pretty much cancelled out any benefit of having a rest day, so we have taken the major luxury of pressing '0' on the little ole telephone and booking another day, shutting the door in the faces of the housekeepers and drawing the curtains.



This works out well 'cos alan needs to buy and test ride a new saddle to save his ass, and the bikes need a good clean 'n lube, and we are both enjoying the lie in. The only big decision of the day is whether to eat last night's leftovers for breakfast, or get room service, or stay in bed until so hungry it drives us out to get something. It is a tough life.

Should'nt you do a few miles on your rest day to help the legs recover? can you not put a goodie bag by the side of the bed for morning munchies so you can have a lie in, whats your hangover cures? love to read your daily accounts and am very impressed with what your doing keep it up

what the hell? new saddle?

that can't be. that saddle was molded to the highest specifications known to (wo)man. that saddle was going to keep his mind focused during the long hard days and the lonely cold nights.

That saddle was his Raison d'etre, and now he's going to get a new one? something ain't right


oh, and can you get bert to email me (work email)- I need to kick his ass and I don't know which emails he's picking up :)

Anon - a few lengths in the hotel pool keeps the legs turning :) hangover cures - phoning reception and booking another night seems to be the most successful cure so far.

Meat - alan.buttler@gmail.com. Make sure you put 'Work' in the title so I can just delete it without reading it. I wore the saddle out unfortunately through 'miss-use'. Its been a long long road.
