I was quite moved during yesterday's Amesbury Amble by the fact that so many riders took the trouble to pull alongside and say how much they'd enjoyed reading my article about LEJOG in Arrivée. Thank you so much, I was really touched by the fact that you took the trouble, Audaxers are a proper community!
Two stand out comments from yesterday:
1) 'You must have a really understanding wife' - I relayed this when I got home and she appreciated it.
2) 'I liked the bit about Preston always being a bad experience as I've got a mate from Preston' - honestly I've been there 4 times and something has gone wrong every time, but I got payback yesterday as whilst we were riding QPR were busy losing at home to Preston North End! Glad I chose cycling over football this weekend, if any Preston fans had recognised me from Arrivée I bet they wouldn't have been as complimentary!
