Post Coastal Challenge 2012

Woke up this morning and thought that the Coastal Challenge was a good idea. Fortunately, it stayed dry and so did we, at least until we got to the Esplanade for a post prandial libation. I asked a stranger to take this photo for your viewing pleasure and it transpired that I went to school with his cycling buddy - small world bla bla bla.

There was certainly a big turn out for the annual seaside jaunt so ably organised by the North Down Cycling Club so it was no surprise that Jonty had to forego the stew option at Portaferry since the queue meandered all the way round to Exploris by the time he got there. Who needs stew when you're 22 stone mind you? To be fair, the big lad was trying out his alternative cycle strategy, and all went pear shaped when the wheels almost fell off after twenty minutes. The challenge became a tad more challenging so all credit for finishing. Next week he tackles the Maracycle in a shopping trolley!
