Rocktober 2013

[Sweder]

Ventured out with co-conspirator 'Two wheels' Duncan into the pre-storm melée to have another go at the Moyelman Half route. I returned two hours later, somewhat the worse for wear, bedraggled, legs like piano wire and utterly done in. As I sat down with a cheeky glass of Erdinger to knock out my report, lo and behold, @Charliecat5 (Duncan) posted his first ever Blog entry, telling the tale of our hike in the hills.

Ok, it's about following my unshapely arse for the best (worst) part of thirteen miles, but that aside it offers an alternative account of the first half of the course, as run by me/ cycled by him. The battle up Loose Bottom into a vicious headwind was a highlight.

I shall kick back, sip my beer, savour the delicious waft of Sunday Dinner drifting from the kitchen and let Le Chat Noir tell you all about it.

Postscript: my legs are in tatters. I have no idea how I'll get up that mountain next month, let alone tackle the second - and by far the toughest - part of the Moyleman. Stay tuned, sports fans (and sadists).
