Tom and Alan have been on a few training cycles now.
5/9/08 we clocked our fastest speed so far, we covered 20miles in 1hour and 30mins. This left us feeling comfortable that we could cover the distances in time to catch our ferry's (see Itinerary).
We used cycle route 75, which runs from my house to his, I recommend it as a good path if you get a chance to get out and about - http://www.sustrans.org.uk/default.asp?sID=1099664999015
During the training we also discovered Tom would be best not using his daughters Town and Trail bike for the Islay trip as the saddle left him with a rather delicate derriere.
Happily his fall back bike is his very own super fancy racer, a far better bike anyway, which has left Alan moderately worried that he might get left behind.

Tom has also been working hard on the turbo at home, which is a sort of small rig that allows the user to cycle like crazy without leaving the comfort of his own home. http://www.bionicsports.com/acatalog/Cycle_trainer_-_turbo_trainers.html
Ive stopped asking about how he is getting on using this as I was last informed he had worked so hard he filled his pants with sweat - yukkk......
