After the anticlimactic first attempt at a ride, we set about replacing the chains with better quality ones, and making a few other small adjustments. The next day we once again prepared to take off, this time successfully breaking the previous 1cm distance record!


The ride was great, we ended up traveling a little over 20km, through a mix of busy roads and country lanes. Since I was steering this time, we didn’t cut off traffic or blast through roundabouts, unlike a certain Canadian driver who I won’t name!


Today, we are all trying to prepare for a big media event in York tomorrow. One major part of this is the implication of a ‘swear jar’, to try and force us to clean up our rather prolific language problem. Surprisingly, Paul is leading the tally, closely followed by Neil. The stereotypical foul-mouthed Australian is doing the best so far, although I have been trying very hard!

All going to plan, we will appear on BBC Look North sometime this week (possibly Tuesday night), and on various radio stations throughout NE England. Keep an eye out for that J

Dan.
