My trip to Paris involves important decisions

Posted by in Castle Coop News | 0 comments

I am very busy getting prepared for my epic Poppy Bike ride to Paris in aid of The Royal British Legion. There are many important decisions to be made as to what I shall need in terms of support equipment.

 

 

These are some of the items I am deciding about:

 

1. I really like the idea of a lunch box which ensures everyone notices my ‘ Fortitude, Endurance and Invigoration‘… Yes Sir!

I don’t like the idea of the Rain Ponchos much – I am intending for it to be beautiful weather in September 2014 . To spend £0.91 on 6 emergency ponchos would seem to indicate a lack of confidence. I shall think about it.

 

Yours thoughtfully,
