Ok just a quick update as I am away this weekend and so will not be able to forward any info on.
Aidans last text was a couple of days ago and he mentioned that the tough part was “wet and nasty at the end”. He has however managed to grab a chance to get some laundry done! Maybe the Mexicans won’t be able to smell him coming after all!
He is now on a stretch in which he said he was going to start bivvying. This is helping him to cover a good amount of ground as he’s starting the day nice and early. At the moment he has managed to move himself up to 8th place and has got a mention in the race up dates for the fact that he is making impressive progress and on a single speed!
Thanks for all your messages, I have been passing them on in texts, I have a funny feeling that he is going to get bombarded with about 8 from me when he next turns his phone on.
Taylor I have texted him, asking him to call in and I have given him the number on the website, for the rest of you, if he calls in, we can finally hear how he is sounding!
Anyway, if have more news I will update on Monday.
TTFN and have a good weekend!
look at him go …. did he fit an engine , hes making em look silly so he is !
up to 6th now – seems to be getting stronger daily ! Glad things are looking up for him now after the rough start !
Go for it Aidan. We're watching your progress (even my mum is) on-line with everything crossed that you're having a fantastic ride and that you make it to Mexico with a smile on your face and no doubt an arse like leather!
I'll be standing you a drink at SSUK.
