Late - night - Terror rising

The boys from Newcastle arrived at the hotel 3 minutes after the luxury travellers.

David assembled and polished all 23 bikes ( as well as trying to sabotage Turlough's bicycle).



Nathan and Alan from Marmot tours did an introductory talk designed to stir souls but mainly stirred fears.  Sobered up, the participants turned to drink.  At dinner there was a complex system of grading alcohol consumption, with Ciaran coming in at Hors category.  Gillian had 4 carafes of Rose wine ordered for her (actually the same carafe had to ordered 4 times.). 

Then the  dramatic state of the nation speech from David.  The classification of the cyclists was announced to hushed gasps of astonishment.  Turlough in the top group? what was he thinking of?

There was clearly some disquiet in the ranks, but there is a super-injunction taken out by Turlough so I can't even........

Also I can report that there may be several defections from the original plan.

Johnny Bunn demanded editorial rights on the blog but was told where to go!

HISTORY OF CYCLING PART 1
Who started training very early for the cycle run?   Answers and evidence tomorrow or the next day!



Gillian, being management, cuts out the middle man (the glass) and goes straight for the carafe.
