We may as well wear sponges
on Jul 17 in General by DanThis weekend Gary from Jerry Chicken is cycling the width of England in memory of his friend Chris who died far too young. If you haven’t already sponsored him, please consider it as he’s riding for a very worthy cause.
And trust me, he’s going to earn every penny. Not only has he got the distance and the hills to contend with, but the weather forecast for this week is not good. It’s not good at all.
Just before he set off he posted this video on his blog. I don’t think I’ve every laughed so much at a youtube video. Far better than the Michael Jackson one that’s been doing the rounds recently. Surely him bringing this to our attention has to be worth a couple of quid at least?

just brilliant.
I think I’ve got the same weather while camping this weekend….
@Arjan, yes. it seems to follow me around too.
Thats absolutely priceless.

@Sam, as I say, i rarely laugh out loud at youtube stuff, but that one had me roaring.
That is awesome.

@DCUrbanDad, pure genius.
When I saw what a great film he was using for his parody I drew breath… then laughed increasingly hard throughout. Absolute classic.

@Steve, I’m not sure Gary actually made it, i think he just found it. I could be wrong though.
Great stuff never the less.
Thanks for the shout Dan :)
Much as would like to claim credit for the film its not mine, but I sympathise with every word of the lads who made it, we were soaked through on Friday, many of the roads in the Lakes were impassable – and then we set off riding.
What a bloody great time we had too, if next years Hadrians Wall walk is half as much fun then it will be hilarious – in fact, there is a cycling version of that very same walk…

@Gary, if you wanted to organize a cycling branch of the Hadrian’s Walk that would be bloody fantastic. But obviously I wouldn’t want to put you under any pressure to do that.
But if you did… Blimey we could make this thing even bigger.
@Dan,
I seriously think that would be a good idea, there is a Sustrans cycle route right alongside the wall, surprisingly called “Hadrians Cycleway”
http://www.sustrans.org.uk/what-we-do/national-cycle-network/long-distance-rides/england/hadrians-cycleway
At 174 miles it would be a four to five day effort, but I like the idea, very much – leave it with me and I’ll gather some more details.

@Gary, just when I think I can’t get any more excited about this Hadrians Walk thing, something else happens.
Although don’t worry, I understand the difference between “leave it with me” and “I’ll do it!!”
You wouldn’t have to do it for the trust if you didn’t want obviously. Although if you did it would add a nice sense of coherence we could exploit in the publicity.
