Spares and Extras

Quite obviously we will get the odd puncture and might need to adjust gears, saddles and hoods, so I made a trip to the bike shop today to stock up. For;

Stuart - 2 tubs of Vaseline (1 for him and 1 to share)
Jonty - 1 Oxygen tent, 1 defribulator and a Priest (ouch!!)
Brian - 4 tubes, 2 tyres, 3 in 1, 7 happy meals and 1 credit card application form
Big Al - A pair of crutches, a sling and 2 elasticated bandages
Jimi - 1 Nose Clip
Stef - Ear defenders (she's sharing with Jimi)
Alyson - 1 Inflatable personal trainer, 2 tubes of fake bake tanning lotion and 2 rice crackers per day
Big Davy - week's supply of haggis, neaps and tatties
Big Rab - 1 English/Scottish phrasebook
Wee Rab - Copy of Westlife's Greatest Hits for him to mime to
Pauline - A diary, to plan ahead
Me - Flight ticket (one way) to Brazil

Stuart extols the virtues of Vaseline to anyone who's interested

The exotic contingent arrive tomorrow with a whole herd of haggis on tow. It's open season on haggis hunting in County Down so keep your head down.
