My bike ride from Scotland back to Oxford Lessons Leant !

[Mike]

Hi all

I just completed a trip from Scotland (Gretna !) back to Oxford over Easter and it was a great trip and very enjoyable.

However I leant 3 things I thought I would share with you.............

1 Best pain relief is fear. (Travelling through woods just south of a major city at 10 pm listening to the second half of Echoes by Pink Floyd (part with the screaming sea gulls) on my MP3 player whilst being chased by local hoodies)

2 Don't buy a good bike and fit cheap parts to it (Like a rear bike rack which then falls to pieces)

3 Don't head for a pub to stay at without checking the reviews are recent. See picture attached !

Regards

Mike

4. Don't fly to Scotland just before a volcanic eruption in Iceland.
