So day three underway and as the frustration and hurt of not being able to ride fades i get on the road with the support crew. Im in the van with Lisa and things are getting pretty serious. The Moo Baa game is reaching fever pitch and i think we may be beginning to take this a little to far! For those of you who are unaware of this rather addictive game the idea is to Moo when you see a cow and Baa when you see sheep etc see the animal make the noise. This has proved most entertaining until we came across some Lamas and Carls reaction was to start spitting, nice!

The efforts of the support team of Jen, Lisa and Clare have been titanic. Without them we just couldn't function in fact they could be best described as the mummys of the trip. They feed us get our kit ready and most importantly rub various creams and remedys into our sore limbs (we wish). Either way today has been a bit of an insight into how different the trip is for them. Plenty of waiting around, plenty of trying to find Jen (she gets lost a lot) and then ten to twenty minutes of absolute madness as the guys turn up destroy all in front of then leave. It seemed all very easy to us on the bikes but believe you me they are real unsung heros of the trip mind you aren't all mummys????

We have just finished lunch and the guys are halfway through today just outside Bristol and no more then a few miles from where James Cracknell was telling us just how tough this would be and how right he was. Another 50 miles will see the team home on day three and the rewards of a BBQ at Johns house. Burger anyone????
