The Lads are making steady progress through Missouri. Here's an overnight update;
"Yo DC,We made it to Macon which is about 130 miles today. Should be in Illinois by tomorrow lunchtime (border town - Hannibal) Knackered - long day today and it rained for the last couple of hours of today's ride. Cheers mate - speak tomorrow, Sumes"
A couple of hours later, in came this important piece of info which will be a big relief for anyone caught downwind of these two;
" We're in Macon, Missouri. Breaking news - we did laundry yesterday which has boosted morale.. The status of riding gear was toggling between 'critical' and 'red alert'"
Readers Corner;
Further contact from the Wowk family today, who are obviously responding positively to the appearance of the Speaks Workwear logo on the the last blog. Fresh from a no doubt bracing trip to Whitby, they clearly understand the value of viral marketing & will keep getting positive mentions as the number one purveyor of tabards & other such quality workwear to the fine upstanding working population of the Greater Keighley conurbation. More info available through Wowkypedia.
Also, a nice note from Irene who works with Paul ... I guess that she's doing double duty with her own job & handling all of Paul's projects, so lets hear it for Irene!
" Had a short email from Paul it was great to hear from him – do tell him that we are keeping up with his blog page and tracking his performance – we are all routing for him. There is great speculation here that he won’t finish in time so do tell him to prove the sceptics wrong and peddle like crazy to make it to the finish in time.
Hildred and I are his No 1 fans and ‘Sumo’ is ok as well!!! There’s lots going on in the States at the moment –the election and what not! – tell them to keep their heads down, or they might find themselves on the Election trail, I’m told there’s a lady Rottweiler lurking around too."
I think by sceptics, she was referring to those naysayers who are casting doubt on the Lads' commitment & not the inhabitants of this great nation... I was pleased to see that her email (sent to Lucy) had the following warning at the end;
"Mae’n ddigon posibl y bydd unrhyw ohebiaeth drwy’r GSI yn cael ei logio, ei monitro a/neu ei chofnodi yn awtomatig am resymau cyfreithiol".
I believe that this translates as " When diving into a swimming pool after an afternoon of drinking, please ensure that there is sufficient water in the pool to avoid an accident." More to come on this story later...
And finally some activity from the previously quiet UK Drivel Clique .. The aforementioned cynics Gordy & Bonner (pictured above) continue in their cynical attempts to undermine the efforts of Irene & Hildred's heroes and questioning the diameter of their wheelbase (or "DW Count" as this is called amongst the cycling fraternity). Surely Chris will have something to say about that in his next message?
