My 1000th post do I get a medal?

[Jamesh]

It was in my bar bag and I forgot to give it to you... !

Great truck stop up the road from you.

Great to see you earlier and put a face to the name.

Sign me up for wimps 2040 or when ever I'm lucky enough to retire!

Cheers James

Yes Wimps I managed a 16 mile ride this morning on an E bike of course. On the way back James passed me and started a conversation. I told him I did an uncompleted Lejog last year and he said he was doing it over 8 days When I started bragging about attempting to do a C2C ride in September he asked Are you a wimp. He has been following us on the forum since we first appeared on there, in his words all 130 pages.
Please have a look at his postings as James h at the top of the lejog pages and offer him any help you can

Just to let the camping Wimps know that I will be providing 2 suitcase camp cookers (same as the one Ken had) for you to use and we will also have a kettle for use. In addition we will set our twin burner/grill up for use as long as it ain't raining

[flash]

We have a driver. He’ll need camping sorted but no flights....

Nick...Most excellent. I will indeed make use of your kettle. Coffee and Cup a Soups, the diet of athletes....

Well done Pete!
