It seemed a perfectly reasonable thing to do with the down time between Christmas and New Year. Never mind I didn’t own a kayak, nor that I’d never really kayaked before.

Final weigh in and cheesy grin time @transambikerace

So it’s back to the drawing board for next years cycling plans as one of our longest standing friends, I saw this chap born,Continue reading “My plea fell on deaf ears – here it is again – no one get married in 2015.
