I chose the Spingsteen title for today because the chorus is Rise Up. As I finally completed climbing 7,500 metres on my bike in June today. Just a silly target for an immature man to aim for! The only other times I have achieved this in a month is my special cycling adventures. My foray into the Alps, the Pyrenees and last year’s cycle ride down through Wales.

Dan the other half of Two Severn Bores tells me the pod cast on the River Severn  has been tidied up and hopefully will soon be available in the near future. We were discussing initial ideas for a future project -we may develop one of them in the second part of the year and maybe next year we will be able to perform again-if not may be the pod cast route!
