Prog off!
Won't be the first time Les has spent a few days being bounced firmly in the saddle region in the company of a couple of "more experienced" riders. 
I just hope this trip does not involve any encounters with petrol sniffing chavs by way of local colour....
though you will somehow have to navigate both Glasgow and Manchester so perhaps previous experience could help.

How did TMLS manage to find a vintage picture of the actual Raleigh Grifter used by Les when I took him for 120 miles, right up the Grand Union Canal.

Sorry to hear about your knee Les. What's the problem with it?
The physio will probably tell you to cycle and swim (not at the same time though) to help build the strength up in the muscle groups that support the knee joint.

Oooh. That sounds a little uncomfy. Keyhole op for the bone to be ground down, or do they think physio alone will do it?

Has anyone done this?
A guy at work is doing it in a couple of months time, and I want to put my name down for the 2010 ride, as it will include my 30th birthday.
Gives me 14 months to train and raise money
