15/4
Just back from a week in Tenerife - spent one morning cycling up to Adeje and watched an enactment of the crucifiction of Christ.

Also cycled up into the hills to about 750M to the town of Arona - took about 1:40 hr to get up there - 20 minutes to get down.

Practice with James

5/4
Went out with a couple of hours with James around Roman lakes - James did lots of pushing - claimed it was dehydration (not sure about that). It was a good warm up for a game of tennis.

21/3
Second day of cycling - this time half way up Snowdon (tegraph valley). Incidents on day: Chris does a spectacualar ismount on way down and we spot steamed up car with naked couple at top of hill on way back.

22/3

Cycle around Newborough (10 miles). Cycle to Pilotscove along coastal path- very rocky.

First trip

20/3

Our first training trip - Chris arrives with a bike from 1950's. We drive to bangor with Lisa and Yvette and cycle up the old slate railway up to lake Ogden. Incidents on trip- Crank falls off Chris's bike and he leaves Oakley sunglasses by side of road. (Chris's bike sqeaks a lot).

I've set up this blog as a perminent memory of my cycle trip to India. Chris stock and I will be cycling through the Himalayas to Daramasala stating the 18th Setpember. Am rather excited.
