Paris 2017

I went out for a ride with ex-Logicalis Roadie Allan Murungi the other week. When I'd previously suggested it, Allan had rejected the idea of a multi-day EPIC ride on the ground that it was too much like hard work (I'm paraphrasing).

I thought I'd broach the subject with him again, seeing as the weather and scenery was so pleasant and it seems like I caught him off-guard because he finally said that he would be up for it! A quick message to Tom Barron - who sadly only managed 3/4 of the last attempt due to...well....due to "issues" let's leave it at that - and he was in too. The trio that had previously conquered the Wiggle French Resistance sportive (and patiently waited for my saint of a wife to bring the spare car keys from Swindon to Dover because I'd managed to lose the other set on the ride!) were reunited.

Then at long last Tom Malyon finally gave in to my relentless pressure to get his arse on a bike and agreed that he'd join us too!

So it's on (like King Kong)!
