WIMPS Coast To Coast 2019

Moving on what happened day 4

I could write an essay about day 4 I probably have done many times and deleted it. If only deleting It from memory was as easy.

I can remember being witness to the bravest bit of cycling I have ever witnessed. How our injured rider kept going is beyond me.....that took determination

[oldmanonabike]

It showed to me the value of a back up team. For a rider 700mile from home with 7 broken ribs and a badly bruised hip could make a phone call and be rescued and taking with all his gear to the next campsite have someone pitch his tent and be entertained by his fellow riders was fantastic. Next day the caring was continued by one of our lady drivers taking the argumentative rider to hospital and spending most of the day with him was way beyond what could be expected.

[KFT]

Yes but, she loves a good argument does Lynda

[oldmanonabike]

Yes and always wins them. I admire strong confident women I married one but Jules Lynda and Callie make an unbeatable force.
Please don't tell them I said so

[KFT]

I have a feeling they already know.

Landsurfer
Is the van automatic gearbox

[oldmanonabike]

We still need a driver for the "Support Phase" ..... Whitehaven to somewhere in Geordie Land ..... I'll be doing pickups and drop offs before and after the event but can"t drive during ...

Sorry I have tried my list of friends none of them were suitable to be fair most are over 70

[oldmanonabike]

When a say list it could be written on the back of a cigar packet only one was interested but due to an injured hand he can only drive automatics.
So come on Wimps surely somebody knows someone who can do it

Last year this time was the 6th day of our Lejog and we were all getting along fine, But what happened during the night and why was there a tent missing the next morning.

[Nickeveson]

I know the answer! Sadly another of our group was taken ill so we had to pack his tent.....not that we were successful in that task

AND
Butter Pies ...... Disgusting ..... YUK .......
My homing Garmin was released into the wild only to return 2 weeks later ...
And a lovely pint by the canal in Lancaster ....
Some people went to Morecambe ... some didn't .....

[flash]

A closed group who take their riding very seriously.....I can't believe this was a year ago today....

[oldmanonabike]

It seems ironic that two of the four riders who were responsible for organising the ride were unable to complete. How many of you knew that the illness that struck on that dayreturned when we were at Tamworth. stopping him from riding that day

Happy Birthday David
