[quote="Richard (Apples)"]Sean and Adrian , I've reserved your places .
Adrian , hows that damaged digit coming along ?
Cheers. Should be a good day, that. Sean'll keep you entertained on the way back while I sleep.
Not sure it'll ever be quite as pretty as it once was, but there is some movement in the finger now. This will improve when the skewers come out - hopefully this will happen the very day before we head off for Italy and the NC. I'll be in trouble otherwise from a cycling/entire-week point of view - but am not thinking about that now.
Six weeks off the bike is not ideal preparation for the forthcoming exertions, but all is far from lost. For example, Andrew G has kindly lent me his turbo, and I've been doing a fair bit of running anyway in preparation for the Bristol Half Marathon.

Needless to say, with one thing (endless housework with limited or no help) and another (droning turbo trainer and pools of sweat on the maple flooring), it's all been a barrel of laughs for Mrs A
