Well - I'm high jacking my horse racing 'la Blog' again for yet another year for my - oops 'our'. - cycle ride from our home in Swanmore to Ceret - through Spain . Not sure how many years I've doing this this trip - may be a half dozen or so - but it sure beats sending post cards !
I've had various companions over the years ( cycling - that is ) - none seem to come back for more ( cycling that is ) . Nothing to do with the company - I think- or the snoring which accompanies that company - I hasten to say ! Anyway - for the second year running Nicola has decided to come along with me - uninvited but coming anyway !
It takes about 2 hours to cycle the 25km from home to the ferry port at Portsmouth - and even in this short time we managed to somehow separate ! One minute she was there - the next gone . As all MALE. cyclists know - and the FEMALE doesn't - is that when one is leading one can't keep looking back . Anyway - a few lefts and rights and the next thing was I had a phone call . I only answered it because I thought it might be important - never thought it was my Nic wondering where the f......g hell I had gone ! Anyway - like all good husbands do - I took the unjust criticism on the chin and then bought us nice bottle of fizz on board ( hence the photo ) which seemed to cheer her up immensely ... thank god !
