Just a quick one to explain why the blogs have been short and sharp and have not explained a great deal.
We haven't had any wifi for days now bit as soon as we do, BLAM blog city.
Until then...

Day 4 - Snowdon to Little Sutton. Hills and everything pain!
Day 4 was, Snowdon 2 hours up, 2 hour down, then 63.2 miles, 14.3 mph avg, 3283 ascent.
We were a little worried about climbing and riding.... but the actual act of riding after climbing is not that bad, the muscle groups are a bit different, as some learned people have told me ;-)
We got up, had breakfast, and drove from our campsite to the base of Snowdon. Phil, our driver/helper/gimp, was coming with us.
We set off, letting Dad look after the Van.
There is not much to say about the actual climb.... we went up a very well marked path, up, and then up some more. The view up to a point was good, but then we realised that all the rest would be cloud, and indeed it was :-(
On the way up we saw a woman with her 4-5 year old child, ON HER BACK, and she was climbing at a decent speed, good work that lady.
As mentioned, and as you can see from the pictures, there was no view to be had at the top, Pants.
There was, however, a shop, and we got some food and a coffee.... semmed silly not to really.
We also saw a group riding mountain bikes down..... I am very sure they took the train up.
The descent was equally uneventful. 2 hrs down and into the canyonero for some food.
We then set off on the ride to Liverpool, Gradient maps said there would be hills..... HOLY MOLY!
I planned this route telling MapMyRide to aviod highways and favor walking.... MISTAKE. We were taken on some pretty sketchy B roads, and had to go up some 20% inclines.
I was about to have a small "toilet incident" at the bottom of a particular hill, fortunatley there was some kind of museum there, and they let me use their "facilities". Reliefe has never felt so.... well you get the picture. (EDIT ANDY - I WISH I had a photo of Sonnys face. The oh so sudden realisation that something explosive was coming still makes me laugh out loud now!!)
We finally broke out of the mountains and headed towards Liverpool, via some massive A road, on which most of the drivers were none to keen to have to slow down for us on our bikes..... I can see their point, but we did not have anytime to make alternative routes etc.
This night, we decided to stay in a hotel, so we all had a slap up meal, and a nice big warm bed to sleep in.
However this Did not change the fact we would be riding to the Lake District..... eeeeK!

Day 3 - Hereford to Snowdon. Hills and Knee Pain
No signal last night.119.8 miles, 7513 ascent, 13.8 mph avg,
Hereford to Penn-y-Pass (Snowdon)
This was the day we were most scared of. Cycling through the middle of Wales into Snowdonia was going to be hilly. The gradient map showed us individual climbs of over 1500ft!
The distance we covered yesterday really had taken its toll on my right knee, and then my left knee because I'd had to use the left leg more to compensate for the weakness in the right. I had called Richard Barnes, a friend and excellent Rugby based sports therapist for some advice last night and was hoping the stretches I'd done and the changes I was going to make to the bike would help.
I'd decided to change back to my old SPD pedal and shoe setup in the hope that my knee would prefer being in its old position, not that it had changed much but I had to try it. After 15 mins of Sonny trying to change my pedals while i massaged my legs with a rolling pin we decided it best to find a bike shop in Leominster who would do it for us. Phil Prothero turned out to be an awesome guy who really helped us out. He told us that Sonny had been turning the pedals the wrong way, which made us all really quite happy for some odd reason. He'd also injured his shoulder in the process. D'oh!
Phil changed my pedals free of charge, what an awesome guy.
It soon became clear that my knee was not just painful, but I was unable to put down enough power for us to make the progress we needed to to make our target destination. We made our way 50miles to Welshpool en route taking in a few hills at a painful 2mph. Rubbish!! I called Gem who tried to find someone to look at my knee for when we got to Welshpool. Hopefully someone could sort me right out!
Turned out they couldn't.
Here we are a few miles from welshpool crossing the border. Note how rubbish I feel :-)
After another phone call to Rich it became clear that there was no quick fix to the problem and it was bothering me that i was holding everything up deciding what to do. A difficult decision was made to send Sonny off on his own for the next 20 miles while I massaged the bits of my leg Rich told me to. For us to have any chance of making Snowdon by sunset, it had to be done. Not at all happy about it but it had to be done.
We decided to meet up again at the base of the big climb as we thought it important that we tackle the most difficult sections together. So 20 miles lost was not so bad, not what I had wanted but unfortunately neccessary.
We were both apprehensive about the climb as we'd looked at the gradient map for the last few months knowing it was steep, long and high. It didn't disappoint! We both really enjoyed it, it was an actual mountain like you see on le tour, awesome. Knee felt good and we were on our way again.
On the bike about half way up the climb:
Sonny near the top:
Me near the top:
Over the top of the climb, my favourite photo of all:
Snowdonia is gorgeous, stunning views and an amazing descent from whatever mountain it is we climbed. We had a few tiny B roads to tackle with some short sharp climbs but it was all good fun and a relief that after a good massaging, my knee felt better.
I had managed 35 miles after getting back on the bike which was more than I expected but on the last few small climbs the knee went again and i had to call it a day 15 before the end. Really not happy but it was getting dark. Sonny manned right up and went on alone along the mountian roads to the starting point for our Snowdon climb in the morning. Good work.
Sonny arrived at Pen-y-pass just before dusk which meant we saw an amazing sunset! Phil managed to get some cool pics - LOOK:
Hopefully with some nurturing my knee will hold up for the mountain climb tomorrow and the subsequent 60 mile cycle into Liverpool.

Day 2 - Tiverton to Hereford
Tiverton to Hereford.
136.7 Miles, 08:47, 15.6 mph avg, 4991 total ascent.
After our longest day in the saddle ever myself and Walker were feeling decidedly sick on the trip from the campsite back to Tiverton bus station.
We started at around 08:00, and it took us little time to realise that Mr Walker had a problem with his knee.... however we took it easy and started to eat away at the mileage.
Looking at the gradient map we had decided that this day would be easy. This was a pretty stupid mistaka to maka.
We decided to stop after around 40 miles. Just before this point we came to Bridgenorth.... this place was, how can I put it... "basic", i.e. as a Town it had roads, pavement and people living there. That was it... oh and a shedload of factories and units etc.
Then we went on to have our first break at Burnham on Sea. This place was nice, nice in the way that everyone obviously knew eachother well, as it appeared they all had the same Mum/Sister/Uncle..... not the deepest gene pool I have ever encountered. We had a coffee, coke and icecream whilst looking over the bleakist view of the sea I have seen in a while.
We then had a few climbs, followed by 15 miles of boring flats.
The came Bristol. Bristol is after some Hills, some masssive sweat inducing hiils.
We got into town to find Dad and Phil outside Bristol Temple Meads station eyeing up the local talent, good work chaps ;-)
We then got some nice pitta type things, coffee and other assorted goodies (I cannot remember what they were).
Recharged, me and Walker headed off to Gloucester.
By this time Walkers knee was hurting him more...
At this point, we both got quite hungry, we then realised were realising that the route would not take us through Gloucster, we also noticed a KFC, WINNER.
We then had 15 miles of suprise hills, the suprise being that the gradient map averages stuff out, so really steep small hills, do not show up. We crusied into Hereford, ran a red light and got shouted at (Andy shouted back at them, a lot).
135 Miles, DONE.
The chosen campsite was a further 3 miles up the A49. It was a bit old but had power and free wifi.
We were both really tired, and Walkers knee was agony, he had to phone Richard Barnes sports therapist - going to stretch loads and change pedals back to SPD.
Day three, or as it has been titled; Infinite Hills in Wales, is tomorrow, Awesome.

Day 1 - Lands End to Tiverton
Lands End to Tiverton
135.5miles 16.2Mph av. 8127ft climbed
Andy;
Up at 6am the aim was to leave by 8. We met up with Team Speed at Lands End and got away by 8:05. Both of us felt the fear for sure but were definitely glad to get started.
We knew Day 1 would be the worst in terms of terrain as the gradient map showed constant ups and down with almost no flat sections. It wasn’t lying.
We started well getting the first 30 miles done in pretty good time and so stopped in Redruth to formulate a plan to get the maps Sonny had left at home and get them posted out next day to Wales by my awesome Girlfriend. We cycled past Keith of Team Speed which we thought odd so went to find him. It transpired that he got separated from the others and didn’t have a phone so was essentially lost. Not good for Day 1!
I wasn’t long before we had to get onto the A30. A busy, undulating dual carriageway which meant constant climbing and no conversation. Usually I’d relish the chance to not have to talk to Sonny much but in this case it just got boring. I stuck JOR on my mp3 player and powered through to Bodmin.
On the descent into Bodmin, on a cycle path I might add, I hit a protruding slab of concrete at 25+mph and was pretty close to coming of my bike. I very nearly went to kick the mayor in the face after that as I had punctured BOTH wheels!! Rubbish.
We repaired my wheels, chowed down on pasties and left for the next leg on the A30.
Now, I didn’t really want to moan on this blog but I really have no choice if we are to report daily happenings properly. In retrospect, I’m sure we ate too much at lunch and set off too early after eating. As soon as we hit the first hill out of Bodmin I felt bad. I started getting stomach cramps which inhibited my breathing. It was like a stabbing pain in my belly which only got worse when I took anywhere near a full breath. The following 40 miles were the worst I’ve endured on a bike. I really considered my ability to carry on with the hills because I was unable to breath properly. It was, in a word, WAK.
There was no way I could stop on day 1, I would never forgive myself. As usual in such situations, I found myself fighting my mind as well as body. Various peoples faces kept appearing n my head and the voices of some of those people who had really helped us get this far. No way I could let them down. Oakhampton came eventually and we had a small rest with coffee and coke. That sorted us right out .
30 miles to go and we both felt good. The mental hills we came across in the remaining miles were both unexpected, and savage!. The rolling Devon countryside after 100 miles was punishing and made progress slow.
Eventually we reached Tiverton and were finished. Thank Jebus!!
I just wanted to mention a few other people quickly. Phil Retardis and Ang (sonnys dad) are doing an awesome job driving about and looking after us with food and extreme flatulence .(ANG!) Gem for sorting us out with the maps for the rest of the trip (and the other stuff!!) and Stevie B for going above and beyond with fund raising at his office. I think he’s managed around £140 so far – good lad!
Tomorrow looks more forgiving as we make our way to the Welsh border.
Sonny;
Well Andy have given everyone the lowdown and details. The ride started well, then the middle bit was horrible, then we felt better, then we discovered a new kind of hill on the final 30 miles. AWESOME.
The worst thing was being on the A30 for so long, it was a nice and direct route but the cars and lorries were fast, loud and un-ending.
The weather was mainly overcast, but warm so that was OK.
Today we have less hills, but the weather is described as “persistent rain”, which should be nice.
My Legs feel OK, and breakfast is done, so we are now about to drive to Tiverton and start where we stopped.

Day 0
Day 0
Well that was a mission!!
We started early to make sure we did't get down to Lands End too late but we just arrived and its gone 9pm.
We set off on time but the shoddy Argos bike rack meant that our bikes HIT THE FLOOR when we went over speed humps. Jebus!
After another hour or so we'd been to Halfords and got another and were on the way.
1st stop was in Bristol to pick up Sonny's Dad, then down to Torquay to get the Canyonero from a very nice couple named Ray and Joy. After some drinks and a tour of the motorhome we set off.
Another 3 hours went by with me and Sonny lounging it up in the back on the sofas and Phil and Ang sharing the driving. Slow going but the motorhome is awesome.
We found Cardinney campsite, 5 miles from Lands End. Sonny's Dad is making us mac n cheese as we're drinking Guiness talking about the 130miles of Cornish hills we'll have to get up tomorrow en route to Tiverton.
\
Nothing exciting to report yet, hopefully we'll have more to write about tomorrow if we don't expire.

A few words from Sonny
As I embark upon this adventure I would like to take a few moments (not minutes... time is money) to thank all those that need to be thanked..... THANK YOU ;-)
As many of you know, I was due to do a Ride from Rugby to Paris last year, in aid of McMillan Nurses, but unfortunately my Mum lost her fight with cancer a few days before. Andy, Simon and Craig went on to complete the ride. Mr Walker (and indeed Gems) drove back from Paris the day they finished to come to Mums funeral, LEGENDS. We all agreed to do something together this year, and this morning Team Speed (Craig, Simon, Keith) and Team Peak (Andy and I) head off to the darkest depths of Cornwall to start our adventure. All to raise money for Cancer Research, if it was not for these guys Mum would never have been able to fight the good fight as long as she did, and given time I am sure more people will go on to survive what is an all to common disease.
I have some more plans for next year, but lets wait to see if I survive this trip first!
Thanks goes out to all my friends that have donated, the local Rugby schools who have manned up, and given us LOADS OF MONEY, and all my work colleagues who have also helped me out, and turned the bind eye when I may have spent a bit of extra time on the internet at lunch time planning... and/or printing up some maps ;-)
A super massive thanks goes out to my understanding Misses, the lovely Miss Anna Domblat, she has had to put up with me talking about bikes, running, carbon fiber, carbs, pasta, and god knows what else for the last few months.... Thanks Babe :-*
So I am now going to have a cup of tea, have a shower (to much detail I know....) put my bags in the car, and get on with the trip.
This is for you Mum :-*

MORE AMAZING FUNDRAISING
ABBOTS FARM JUNIOR SCHOOL
WOW!!!
I just went to pick up what i thought would be a good contribution toward our fund raising efforts. A sponsored swim by 30 kids at Abbots Farm.
I was handed an envelope containing £688.20!!!!
AMAZING!!
Again, Outstanding behaviour ;-)
I thought, since I had a spare hour before i had to get to full metal racket, I would take the money from both The Revel and Abbots Farm to the bank.
I never thought banking money would be a part of mny training!! It must have weighed 30kg!!
That makes a grand total of £1161.20 from 2 schools!!!
We are truly amazed by the efforts of these 2 schools - a massive amount for a good cause so THANKYOU again. You really, really suprised us.

Good publicity, Sean and James, and more maps
Well today starts with some good news, we have a really good spread in the Rugby Advertiser today.
Also well worth a mention is the fact that the Cycle Across America 2010 are in there also. For those of you who do not know, these guys were cycling across America to raise money forMacmillan Cancer support, CoppaFeel and Livestrong. The Amazing thing is James was giving weeks to live last year, after being diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer. He made a full recovery, and him and Sean decided to embark on their epic ride. Sadly halfway through their ride they were involved in a horrendous accident, being hit by a lorry at 70 mph. They are now both recovering, read the story here.
Tonight myself and Andy will be updating and finalising the route maps....again ;-)
Thanks for all the support from everybody, please keep spreading the good word!

Last Few Days of Prep
Well, this is my first post to the blog... please be gentle
The last few days of preparation are now here. I had a nice 35 mile ride last night, decent time, legs feeling good. However I am aware that Mr Walker did not fare so well, last update was he had got to his Dad's place, and was attempting to refuel on Beer and Pies, good work that man!
Tonight we are finalising the last bits of the route, and printing out the gradient maps etc, along with a nice healthy dose of carbo-loading, possibly the only bit of training that is always fun ;-)
