Anything that can go wrong will go wrong
The above saying is a very famous saying, and the last few days have proven that.

RIGHT, ONE OF KAPS CLINICS
To start off the week, a new bike I bought last October from a top bike shop here in Newcastle, one of my team took into my local bike shop to have a wing mirror attached. I very quickly received a phone from said bike shop to tell me that who ever made up the bike had put the front forks on backwards; and had not put the brake leavers in the right place. As I did not have time to take the said bike back to the original bike shop I asked that this was put right, £20 it cost me. The most annoying thing was, the manager of said bike shop was informed by the bike shop and has not even apologized. If I have time, I am going to bend the ear of said bike shop.
Next my plans for Friday were shot in the foot; Clair was advised to have her wisdom tooth out this week and not next. This meant that she could not be at the tent putting up. We also discovered that the screen wash does not work. That now has to be seen to.
Last night it was logo putting on tee-shirts time. This task we failed miserably with, this means to day a trip to PC World for some more transfer paper. Wasted a very variable day
The list goes on.
On Sunday I addressed my church, thanking them for their prays and support over the past few months, and I found that I had to fight back the tears. Not what I expected. Not what I expected. I am now saying to people; see you when I get back. This time next week I shall be on day 2, I wonder what I shall be writing in the blog! I am now getting the butterflies in my tum. What we are going to attempt just does not seem real yet. I will believe it next Saturday when I am at LE and Sunday at 1000 when the gun goes off. They say that every great journey starts with one small step. I hope on 29th June 08 I can say that and that we did it.
