Cork to Kerry 2

Well, yesterday's training ride went really well! A bit like a drowned rat, but, 58.8 miles in absolutely torrential rain. Steve Goldsmith was quite hard to hang on to up the hills. This is in spite of the fact that he suffers from Motor Neurone Disease! Clearly not too much wrong with his legs!

The problem with recumbent bikes is that you're lying flat on your back in the pouring rain. Next time you're feeling particularly masochistic, try lying down in your garden when it's chucking it down (this will let you know exactly what it felt like)!

I've set up my bike with a fairly extreme recline (good for speed, not good for rain).

Also, it's pretty hard to repair a flat when it's really wet and your fingers have stopped working properly!

Coming back, managed to (briefly) hit 33.5 mph. It's amazing the amount of extra energy you get after coffee and cake at Ickworth house! Quite hard to see when the rain is coming straight at you though!

But now, most slot machines display reels on video screens, and they often take and dispense cost via bills, vouchers, and tickets rather than coins or tokens. Slot machines provide several of} denominations, the place the denomination is the worth 점보카지노 of every credit performed.
