Last minute nerves

We had our photo took today by the Lancashire Evening Post (thankyou), Chorley Nissan once again turned up with the minibus that they have kindly donated for the ride week (BIG THANKYOU). The photographer obviously had a wide angled lens to fit in Andy Kirkpatrick's muscular frame. Tony P took centre stage (just move your bike in a little more). Steve Dunn was unvailing his lovely shaven legs for the first time (We will not mention the other shaven bits). It seems that we are at the point of no return, with a few last minute nerves setting in with various sayings like "Why did you talk me into this" "oh my God what have we done" and "does my bum look big in this". The final, final, final route will be set tomorrow and all eyes are on Tony and Bucko to see if they pick any hills (remember it'll be all your fault if we fail) no pressure boys.
Pete might suprise us all and have a shave before the ride and loose his binman chique look. Paul the DJ Rawding has turned into Pete Tong placing some top tunes on this blog. Mark Smith has bought a visor for his helmet so he can smoke on the move. Andy and Paul W are the only one's who are calm, maybe it's because they know they can't get piles from sitting on a nice comfortable air conditioned minibus seat for 900 miles.

Just one last comment "OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE WE DONE" JAY
