Enjoyed watching Bradley yesterday-what a ride again! He has always been a hero for me mainly for his honesty, ability and being himself. I got very excited in 2009 when he finished 4th in the Tour de France -a Brit 4th-I remember Robert Millar in the 80s when he won the King of the Mountains doing well! 2010 was a disappointment but my goodness didn’t he respond well-unlucky to break his collarbone last year when he looked in with a chance. Then\u00a0all this year he has looked good in all the races. Hopefully we will now see more people getting their bikes out.<\/p>\n

Training for\u00a0the big ride is going well after my ride across Ireland. (thanks everyone for sponsoring us don’t forget the Just Giving site is www.justgiving.com\/brian-dimmock<\/a>\u00a0) I try to do at least around 100 miles a week with some real climbs. Last night I had chain trouble on the A38\u00a0\u00a0sadly no support vehicle with a mechanic in it to help. Hands very mucky-no easy way!<\/p>\n

Playing cricket this afternoon-only just recovered from my two games at the weekend.<\/p>\n

I went to the W.W.T. on Tuesday to see the Long Billed Dowitcher-took nearly 2 hours to spot it in amongst a flock of Godwits!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
