Day 5 - Podium Finish Now a Pipe-Dream

We were over 9 hours on the trail today. Rocky Mountain Business Objects now look to have beaten Tango and Cash into at least second place!!

Blagged the use of the Internet behind the reception in a hotel so no time to think up any gags.

Needless to say we are like todally knackered after another tough tough day, but it was unbelievable singletrack, climbs, tarmac downhill, scenery, yadda yadda yadda.

Weather is still class. Looking forward to the 2 girlies coming out to meet us at the finish on Saturday - hope the weather holds!

I hear we are in the Antrim Guardian - hittin the big time for sure. Check us out at our sponsor site too!! www.on-one.co.uk

Keep livin´ the dream back there at home. Send us a few messages, either directly or to pass onto others. We are all homesick out here, sniff sniff.

Cheers!!

Jolly good, boys. Now see if you can blag some of those continental types into letting you upload some photies onto your most marvellous web site. By jove, we are sure you have some remarkable images to share with the rest of us. What's up - Johnny Fritz nicht spielen Ball? Johnny Pierre pas jouer le balon? Johnny Alfredo not incontinente la bella afficionado?
Make it happen(TM).

Spare a thought for us wasters back home who are gettin roasted in this heat! Your efforts remind me of a saying from my dear old dad Theodore Roosevelt:

Stay strong in the second half!

What are you saying? That some of those hills are bigger than the climb up from the Torr Head coastguard station? I've told you a million times not to exaggerate.

Steven, that quote is so good I've pasted it here in case anyone doesn't look it up or hasn't heard it.
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself for a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

This is the first time I have looked at site and I am most impressed though slightly distressed at the shot of you in your lycra straddling the Donegore Hill sign post!! Unlike my wonderfully witty husband and brother in law I have no amusing comments re the race but just wanted to say well done and keep up the good work to both of you!

Well done Davy, i hope those ejits from Newry aren't giving you a hard time, I saw your mug sticking out from the picture of them dressed as leprechauns, nice one.

Anyways, Floyd the hillbilly Landis blew up yesterday, too many substances or not enough water or food or something like that, or could it be that he's gota ginge beard too, I don't know.

Wish I was there.

enjoy,

Andy

Floyd obviously never trained on Donegore Hill otherwise he'd still be in yellow!
Keep going lads.
