So as we all sit in isolation questioning the world
around us, why not tune into amazon prime and watch this.

In 1928 a small, under-resourced and untested team from New Zealand and Australia competed in what is considered the toughest sporting event in the world...the Tour de France. Phil Keoghan (The Amazing Race), the television personality, adventurer and bike enthusiast, sets out to retrace the route o...

Pnawn Da,

As you may have guessed the chances of the L2P happening is close to nil . We are living in very worrying times and our individual health , and the health of our families and colleagues is paramount

After sounding out a couple of people I think the best course of action is that we postpone the bike ride to 2021. I know that a lot of you will have already raised a lot of money for charity and trained hard for this.

I am asking the travel office to postpone the trip to May 28th - June 2nd 2021. The IBIS in Beauvais and the hotel in Dieppe have allready confirmed that we can do this. By doing this we will not loose the deposits that we have paid to both of these hotels.

I will then give everybody the option to either confirm that they wish to continue and do the trip in 2021 , or you can have a refund of what hasn't been spent . You will obviously loose less money if you decide to come on the 2021 trip.

As soon as I get the full breakdown I will get in touch with everybody, I think it might be too early to contact any insurance company you may have, as I am unsure what the final loss will be . A rough guesstimate at the moment is that we will lose £130 each, but possibly only around £70 each f you decide to carry your booking on to next year . This is assuming that most people wish to carry on to 2021 . Please could you give me an indication of what you are most likely to do.

I have also received an update from cycling UK with current advice for cyclists

Cycling banned in Spain.

The government has declared a state of alarm and with it has almost completely limited the movement of citizens

So the current leader board looks like this, who will top that this week.

Just came across these in Sports Direct. Remember you’ll need a bell for France and warm toes are always a bonus in this weather.

So once again it looks like a storm approaches us ... with winds up to 70mph

Best get the bikes hooked up to the Turbo Trainers or rollers, keep warm and safe

The storm is likely to cause travel delays and large waves

The weather looks poor on Friday, high winds so may have to think of a plan B for the ride out.

Storm Dennis is upon us. If your going out on your bike be very careful.

Flooding and power cuts are forecast with amber weather warnings in place across England and Wales.
