Pannier Covers and update

Julie has done a great job of designing our pannier covers and printing and laminating these onto the covers. Hopefully by having the logos of the charities and the wording "John O Groats to Lands End" will make people aware of what we are doing and might just help to make the great British public part with their hard earnt cash. Joe and I rode with the One & All Cycle Club on Sunday. I stayed in Group 1, whilst Joe raced off with Group 2. The weather was not so good, strong south westerly wind and cornish "mizzle" - the kind of drizzle that gets through everything. Luckily I took my wind proof jacket, which did the job of keeping me warm, but not dry. Joe unfortunately learnt a lesson - dress for the weather. He peeled off from the group as he went home as he was soking wet and cold. Better not pull that one next week up in the mountains of Scotland!! Booked our hotel for the drive up to Inverness next Monday. We are staying in Hamilton, south east Glasgow at the Holiday Inn Express. I googled the hotel using Google Street View (after having made the reservation). It is located on what appears to be the largest roundabout in Europe - oh dear, I can just imagine the blog for Tuesday morning "Managed 2 hours sleep last night - boy racers wheel spinning all night outside!!!" The good news is that the donations are still coming inn, the total raised to date is just under £3k.........
