It's Started!
Today , the team started their epic 2008 C2C Ride. The start point was Workington (not Whitehaven, as previously reported). The weather was just about right - not sunny, not raining (much). The guys dipped their wheels in the Irish Sea, at approximately 10 am or so (about an hour behind schedule). Theye then made their way to the official start point, and had been going less than a minute before the first mishap!
Stevie Till, obviously thrilled to be starting the ride, decided he's pull a wheelie (or two) along the harbour wall.... unfortunately, wheelie number 2 wasn't particularly successful, with Steve clattering into the railings, and damaging himself and his bike (fortunately, not seriously). Luckily, all this was caught on video, which will be uploaded once a high speed/high bandwidth connection is available.
Watch this space for more updates soon!
Current position : Between Mungrisdale and Troutbeck (close to main A66 route).
Weather : Fine (for the moment).
