An account of preparation for and undertaking of a cycle tour of Britain Feb.-June 2013. The 'Just Giving' page has now closed, very many thanks to those who donated I think about £400 was given. It had not been my prime motive but both the Hospice and I are very grateful for the money raised. Please keep reading the blog and commenting, I may try to turn it into a book if anyone might be interested.

Day 23.
Still in Sibford having been to Eastcote in London today playing hockey for Banbury 3rd team. It is many years since I played a game of competitive game of club hockey and I was clearly not match fit, however I always enjoy a game and although I didn't see much of the ball and we lost 4-1 it was good fun and exercise. After being 3-0 behind in 20 minutes the team did much better and one of the Banbury team scored a terrific goal from the edge of the area but despite playing much better in the second half we couldn't find the goals we needed and I didn't get a shot on goal, not what was required but I tried my best but perhaps am too old to compete at that level now.
Tomorrow it is back on the bike to Oxford.
Good night.

Just back from three days in Ambleside and enjoyed reading your recent instalments. Those tyres have been good if you haven't had to pump air in them until now.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll get warmer weather - it does seem rather better than when you started.
