Some Henley Moments !

Some of my favourite Henley moments on tour to date !

- Getting thrown of steps of St Pauls in London for failing to notice approaching bishops and dignitaries following an ordination

- Arriving at Mankinholes at 930 pm yha lady said " you're friends arrived at least I think it's you friend because he's so shattered he can't talk"!

- When riding in gloom approaching Hadrians Wall I said "hey Kev see Hadrians wall" - who's he came the quick reply!


Yes Kev - Hadrians Wall ! 

- When Kev rode back 2 kms to find his multi tool he thought he'd dropped only to get lost and find on his eventual return that the tool was still in his front handlebar bag!

- When I awoke at Kettlewell in the middle of the night hearing liquid splashing on the carpet I yelled out "Kev stop weeing on the carpet" to quickly realise that it wasnt Kev but the high ceiling window hed left open in the rain

- The look on our recent B&B owners face when Kev walked into the loungeroom after being offered a cuppa forgetting he still had on all his wet weather gear and muddy shoe covers

- The delight on his face every time he hops on his bike

- The no of sites missed as he focusses on the road "what major army barracks" he said the other day as we cycled past a barracks about the size of a melb suburb !

- The smile he gets when he receives an email from friends

- The look Kev got when asked at the bar tonight what he'd like - when he said "nuthin" which I interpreted as I'm not having a drink but I'm looking at the menu thx - the bar tender interpreted
as someone just being a smart A and went away singing "happy people ...

Yes it is true that if he could he'd bed up with his Canondale given his love and affection but for the moment he has to settle for me!

    Thinking of you, but not suffering with you every day.

  2. Yeah, Bobbert, the good stuff to come. Outer Hebrides and all that the Atlantic can throw, the Highlands then to top it all off (if you'll pardon the pun) the European Alps. But the stories!!
