Day 5 and our legs now only function for cycling. Rotation is kind to them, but watching us go about simple activites; staircases, walking to the shop provokes either laughter or sympathy, depending on your nature.
Still, three bits of news to give us a lift.
It's Jenny's birthday, and let's face it - who wouldn't want to spend their 26th in a Travelodge car park in Shrewsbury?! And today we welcome Eddie and Becks back onto the bikes, we will keep you posted on their knees - for both it is probably a victory for stubbornness over common sense, but that is the spirit of what we're doing and it's great to have them back. Besides both have faced adversity in the face of insurmountable odds before; Becks climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and Eddie supported the Irish Rugby team in the 90's!
The route today takes us to Stoke - where once again the kindness of colleagues kicks in. There is a small reception at one of the contact centres - and amongst other things they have a raffle to raise some more funds for Skill. Throughout this there hasn't been one person who hasn't helped us or gone above and beyond to help make this happen - we've taken over homes, stores, asked favours, pulled people away from their day job - without ever hearing a no. It continues today, thank you all.
Andy
