Just worked out the HTML tag for strike-through :-)

Bikely vs. MapMyRide

I've started using Bikely as it seems to be more responsive for longer routes; useful since 30m is the new 20m after last weekend :-) Click here for an example.

Night of terrors, with an unexpected bonus?

This shows the view of the loo, immediately before going to bed.

Little did we know what awaited us. My night started at around 3am, when I awoke and decided that I had probably lost the keys for the hire car that we had left down the mountain. From that moment, sleep was out of the question. I thought about getting them out of the bag, but this was completely impossible without waking everyone up, so I cycled around the following thoughts about 10000 times;

1. If have lost they keys then...
2. we will miss our flight and not get back for an extra day so...
3. everyone will hate me but...
4. being civilised they will never actually say so...
5. I will eventually die a hermit...
6. loop to 1.

After about iteration 4997, Peter had a wrestling match with a giant nut.

After iteration 9999, at 5am, all of the serious rock climbers got up. Spotting my moment to check on the keys, I started to get up to. At this point, I either had a hallucination (which as Andy discovered, might be possible as a result of altitude sickness) or one of the female rock climbers bared all. I blinked, and the moment was over.

Having abseiled over the dozens of bags on the floor of the room, I took my bag outside, to discover the keys twinkling evilly at me.

Nice time for doing some photography though.

MapMyRide

I created this quickly using a very useful website (based on Google mapping).

McTitans

A sunny interlude by the lakeside at Montreux, Switzerland, in July 2007. The first course of our eclectic/expedient lunch, also comprising (optional) crepe nutella and coffee. No photos of the dessert or digestif courses 'cos of the rain:-(

Pyrenees 2004

Rather a late upload, but here is a picture from the Titans Pyrenees trip in June 2004. It's the stunning view from the Ventosa Refuge where we stayed a night during a 3 days trek through the Aiguestortes National Park, via the Circ de Colomers.
