Manchester to Blackpool

Rode the Manchester to blackpool bike ride yesterday, really enjoyed it even though I should have more carbs on the morning as I got really tired mile 15, had a chocolate bar and banana and then felt great. The first pic is me at the finish line gagging for a beer. The second is Jo & kids sat outside beer tent barrier.

Went for a walk down the prom later with Clare, Mum, Jo, Chaz & Alfie and then a bite to eat in the Wetherspoons on Lytham Rd.....all in all a great day.








On a really sad note a fireman from Greater Manchester called Stephen Hunt died while tackling a fire from a neighbouring station Philips Park, I didn't know him but it does make you realise how dangerous the job is. Some people think we sit around all day but that's really not the case. We have busy days now even when fire calls are low, we do tons community work and safety checks, cleaning/testing equipment etc.
