No updates since Sebring so time for a quick one. Training for RAW has been going well, with the mileage fine, but some long rides over 200 miles needed to get the legs truly accustomed. Planning to do these after our R.N. reunion at BRNC Dartmouth with the Captain, Andy Hancock on the 14th May. This is a piccy of Chris Williams and myself at La Sufrida in Ronda on Saturday. Weather was awful-worst I've ridden in. At the top of the mountain we only had a few metres visability with rain and fog lashing in. The decents were not fun. My bike computer shows a maximum speed of 77 miles per hour but I don't believe it even though I was absolutely flat out at one point.
Next stop is The Race Across the West in the US in 6 weeks time. Need to lose a few pounds so I will be working on that, and upping the mileage for the next few weeks. All the planning is pretty well done. Let's hope the rain stops in Spain-it doesn't fall on the plain, it falls on the Coast, having been diverted from England for Easter!
Looking forward to seeing the Crew, made up of Mark Turner (brother), Paul Carpenter, Dave Sutton and Clive Rooney. Time to make amends. Will do another after Dartmouth. Cheers Tim.
