Overland Magazine - Ride the World - Meldrews Sunday?

The best laid plans of mice and men.... or more accurately, "The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men, Gang aft agley"

Go wrong! Robert Burns wrote this about a mouse.  But of course it does apply to us. 

The plan to get two of the waypoints from the Ride the World challenge ticked off on the way to and from the Ride to the Wall bollixed due to the petrol crisis that affected southern England and to some extent still does!

My plan to get the two in Kent was similarly cocked up.  But never fear. Sunday the 17th is Meldrews Sunday and an opportunity to get on the road and waste some of the earth's valuable fossil fuel supply for my own selfish gain calls to me.  We haven't decided where to meet for breakfast yet but maybe somewhere along my chosen route would be good.  Gibson's? H's?


See how that goes.
