A Long December

By -

 

It WAS a long December, not helped by a week of covid confinement and sub-zero temperatures.  January always drags so there was no relief there.  It is now mid-February, it is still cold and I have had enough…..I'm going somewhere where the sun might shine. I'm taking Plum with me because….err….umm….actually I have no idea why but I always take him with me.  I'm thinking we should get a joint passport. 

 

For various reasons we still aren't ready to return to long-haul BIG adventures but last February's little jaunt to Spain worked out quite well so we thought we might do something similar.  This time we are doing a 'coast to coats' across the Iberian Peninsula, starting in Lisbon and finishing in Valencia.  You will see from the map that we are taking a rather convoluted route and there are two reasons for this:

 

1/  For cycling gods like us Lisbon to Valencia isn't really far enough to fill two weeks

2/  The lazy dagos haven't bothered to build enough towns/hotels on the direct route

 

We are leaving on Saturday and will start riding straight from Lisbon airport.  So, sit tight and get ready for the usual cocktail of casual xenophobia and complaints about breakfast!

 

PS. Counting Crows, but you are on your own from here.

  After an 18 month separation Plum and I are reforming the band for another tour.  The two of us, plus 6 others, are heading up to Scotlandshire for another crack at the North Cost 500.  I should probably introduce the full line-up:   Lead Singer - David.  David is the young(er) pretty one.....brother of John.  David also happens to be my Financial Adviser and is funding this trip (plus a yacht and a cocaine habit) out of what he makes from my account.   Lead Guitar - Nick.  Friend for 50 years.  At school Nick was a keen cyclist and consequently, quite rightly, bullied.  Nick has forgotten more about cycling than I will ever know.   Bass Guitar - Stuart.  Stuart and I worked together for many years; he has powerful legs and can push out big watts while looking like he is coasting.  I hate Stuart.   Keyboards - Michael.  Michael is a...

If I Could Turn Back Time

If ever you are in the Inverness area on a Friday and looking for a lively night you could do a lot worse than avoid Muir of Ord.  Our hotel, the only pub, wasn't serving food so we walked into town where it appeared that Steven Spielberg had just finished filming some sort of post-apocalypse movie: nothing open, nobody on the streets and the odd bit of tumbleweed blowing along the pavement.  Even the fish and chip shop couldn't be arsed to open...on a FRIDAY NIGHT!  We managed to find a take-away offering a rather odd choice of kebabs and curries (served in pizza boxes for added novelty) and purchased some food which made up for in calories what it lacked in food-hygiene standards.   I recall a meeting where a few of my co-riders and I met to kick around ideas for a group ride.  We considered all sort of destinations....mostly in those parts of Europe where the weather isn't consistently shite.  I'm ashamed to say that I thin...

Julia's Song

As some readers will know, Plum is no longer Chard's most eligible bachelor.  The lovely Julia has taken on the job that Social Services would otherwise have to do....making sure he changes his pants once a week whether they need it or not and loading routes onto his Garmin.  We are all very grateful to Julia, especially Chards most eligible bachelorettes who can get back on the dating scene now Plum is safely off the market. As we were starting our trip Julia fell, dislocated her foot and broke her Tibia so she is probably missing Plum more than usual. She has insisted that the show should go on so thanks for being such a trooper. Today was another with a shortcut that promised to turn a very hard day into something more manageable.  Some of our group took the high road and others took the low but I had a more cunning idea.....get in the van.  Whatever is ailing me, long covid or acute spinelessness, reached the point where pushing th...
