With the last day of preparation before the ride upon us the team is hard at work doing last minute alterations to the skis and it is looking at this stage that we will just ‘fall over the start line.’ With the team vehicle now covered in The Ultimate Ride stickers we really look the part.
Team riders Jeremy, Ivan (the crazy Croatian) and Travis will depart the Royal Wharfs at 8am sharp tomorrow morning alongside what is looking to be a large flotilla of PWC riders from around the area.
Last night served as a final meet and greet / piss up where many of the locals came to have a few beers and to give the team their final words of encouragement before we set out. It appears we have become somewhat local celebrities around The Cherry Tree Pub with many of us signing our first autographs last night.
Will keep updated as the ride goes on but for now its time to get back to work in order to have everything ‘ship shape’ for tomorrow.
Over and out.

Am enjoying the blog and am pleased my conviction is confirmed that the full English breakfast exists purely to confuse and confound visitors to our shores……but then the sum of the whole is always greater than its parts……Sauls Mum XXX
