22nd July - The meal

Well, I need to update you on what happened on the ride so I'll do it day be day. 22nd July was the pre-ride meal. Phil couldn't get the day off work so couldn't pick me and Eva up until 6pm. I was quite glad to be honest because I'm a bit of a nightmare when it comes to packing. Anyway eventually got to the restaurant in Kingston at about 8. Sat Nav... who needs em! does help if you know the address of where you are going!

Of course, had to prove at the meal that I have earned by nickname 3 Foot and Peter Mann (Big Ears) had brought a tape measure along. Inside leg ... 36 inches (thank God I got that measurement right or I might have been chucked off the team!

Nic gave me my kit. O my God. he wasn't lying when he said it was Race Fit!!! Tried it on in the hotel room... a tad small, it looked more like a skin suit! Hetta took a Borat mankini style pose picture of me in my bib shorts on my phone and we sent it to the lads for a laugh. Nic says it's going on the website (".)

My nickname is printed across the arse of the shorts. Well, now I am worried that people will think this is a reference to the width of my arse rather than the length of my legs! (".)
