Jons April Blog

The cycling gear has now arrived. I didnt have a hand in actually ordering it and at first glance it appeared that we have ordered all of the clothing from "Wrestlers R Us".

Matt came over last weekend and had kindly brought me pair of lycra dungarees which resemble the wrestling costume of the legendary 1970's wrestler Mick McManus. He featured often on World of Sport with Dickie Davies. Apparently they help with aerodynamics!!!

Matt and I both tried on our costumes (note the word "Costume!!") at the same time. We walked into the kitchen where a small crowd had gathered and brought the house down. I think I actually saw someone crying with laughter!!

I haven't been brave enough to wear anything yet as I dont think my body is toned enough to pull it off. Matt has worn his already, but he has been looking daft on his bike now for quite a while, so he's used to it!!

We are doing around 35 to 40 miles now and things are getting much easier. Im getting more and more confident as time goes by.
