today i am riding this between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. . . . 150 kms of cycling through the area around peterborough . . . i am one member of a team of six riders . . . it's called a "team pursuit" . . . i think that there are nine other teams . . . . maps are distributed at the last minute and then we are sent out at intervals of fifteen minutes . . . i should burn 5,000 calories - i'm carrying 1200 calories of food with me . . . the intake deficit will be addressed by the compensatory consumption of beer at the end . . . wish me luck!!!!

Good Luck! You're not in England are you? Peterborough!
Ride hard, ride safe! Is this for Africycle??
titus - nope i live in canada but the area i live in has strong connections to the united kingdom genetically and then also in the naming of places!!! it was a long and difficult ride with a lot of climbing and stretches where we followed single track through the woods . . all done on racing road bikes . . . . the beer at the end made up for and his some of the pain!!!! steven
rick - our agreement as a team was to finish the race with nothing left. mission accomplished!!! we actually rode as "the africycle team" but did it as a warm up for africycle and also to get the name out among other riders who maybe have heard but don't know much about us . . . . . steven
