February 2009
Popped in to say that despite the best efforts of our fellow countrymen to collapse under a light dusting of snow we made it home as scheduled this evening. Weary, bleary-eyed, tired and emotional, we're back with hearts full of memories and heads stuffed with tales. A rushed 'thank you' to my fellow Almerians - you all combined to make this another truly memorable year. It was an honour and a priviledge to fight and fall by your side.

For now I must pack, pack and away. Salvador de Bahia waits for no man and I am no exception. I leave within the hour for a dark and snow-patched Heathrow, to meet the red-eye to Lisbon where I hope to connect to a Brazil-bound airliner. It doesn't get any uglier than this Bubba; barely enough time for a shave and a splash, legs filled with lactic, heartburn to spare. Race reports will have to wait, unless my hosts play fast and loose with the free time and I manage to unearth some form of internet connection on the rim of the Amazon basin.

I'll leave the tales Rude and Glorious to others of our number, these words of sober guidance ringing in their ears.
Spare no-one: publish and be damned!

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
