No peace! I’ll be so nervous, 10+ hours on the edge of my seat. I’ll be in Tenby to watch the swim, which will be spectacular and take about an hour, after that I’ll retreat to a friend’s house if I can find a way with all the roads closed. The bikers will pass her garden twice, that’s the only chance I’ll get to see Chef until he finishes. It’s a high anxiety day but one that will be celebrated with many beers afterwards!

Deanne, we bought them bikes in Romania, they never used them. They said they missed their bikes ( very rarely, but they did if asked), but when given them they had so many other options that bikes were forgotten. We wasted a fortune buying them bikes. It’s one of those perfect dreams of childhood we parents have, happy, bike riding kids….never happened with my two. They used them if forced only. I won’t make the mistake of thinking I “should” buy them things ever again. The diverse experiences they are accumulating are worth a million times more. Chef and I are serious bike riders, it came much, much later in life. Yes, Chef’s bike has travelled across Europe twice this year, once by plane, once in Sexy. His “Real” tri-bike is in Australia. He bought a perfectly good second hand tri bike on E-Bay in the UK, it does does the job and was way cheaper.
