Houston

Malcolm's report of his recent ride in USA:

"Please see attached post ride refreshment photo; something a little stronger than coffee (Shiner Bock) at the end of the BP MS150 Houston to Austin ride. If you contributed to the cause then many many thanks, my legs, arms, shoulders and back will never forgive you.

For the statisticians it was 159.8 miles over two days, Avg 12.4 mph with 12 hours and 50mins in the saddle (please add backside to list of very sore bits) and avg temp of 22C.

One last thing guys: when over 13,000 people take part in a ride like this there are accidents. One of out team ended up in hospital when he got hit a glancing blow by a car…low speed but significant…..WEAR A HELMET!!!!!"
