A sense of deja vu tonight as I packed my bag ready for the three moors tour in aid of the Bristol Care appeal (still time to sponsor me, see the attached link on the banner at the side of the page). I realise now why Ryan Air give a weight restriction- to make money obviously, but it also serves a useful purpose in that it restricts people like me from taking everything but the kitchen sink with them on cycling trips.
No such worries this time, my bag is bursting with everything I could possibly need for two and a half days' cycling-and a lot more besides. I'm wearing full ACG regalia tomorrow, as most of the day will be in Somerset after all. Then it'll be RP commemorative jersey on Saturday and maybe KoM top on Sunday-if I feel I merit it after two hilly days, otherwise it'll be the bling top.
I also feel a bit like Brian Clough going to Leeds without Peter Taylor-I'll have to be really well-behaved with my roomie, no juvenile humour and, well, you know the kind of thing.
Routes for the three days are below, and if you are exceptionally bored at work tomorrow, and really bored at the weekend, you can follow us on Twitter:

God's existence is finally confirmed by the forecast north-easterly wind, a bit of drizzle which is fine, but if that wind turns up, well I'll be sending one of thanks up to the Big Man and no mistake,
Allons-y!
