As we are doing the ride to raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care (please donate! click on the button to the right) we need to get some publicity so that people know to donate. Friday provided ideal light for a Lord Lichfield moment. Richard did not want to go to Land's End for this - he has never been there and wants the end of the ride to be his first experience of the legendary location. So number 2 son suggested St Michael's Mount as a good backdrop.
On arrival numerous sagaites were well wrapped in their cars supping cups of tea from flasks. No disrespect intended, they were the sensible ones - is was blowing a hooley, and a very cold one at that! The windsurfers were having a whale of a time in the surf off Marazion Beach being photographed by National Geographic.
We definately looked the odd ones out as we carried the bike down onto the beach and then stripped to our warm weather cycle gear - shorts & t-shirt! One photo call was for opposing feet to be bared and displayed (Joules is a chiropodist after all).
Lesson leared - if someone is taking your photo, please ensure they give you notice of when they are pressing the button...
It was difficult to get both of us looking good, but at least the bike looked its best throughout!
Still no news on a back up, and its looking more like the train and unsupported option. This is a shame.
