ENDURANCE TRAINING IN MALTA
The Sweet EscapeTraining has been long and arduous, every night a 20/30 miler in the pouring rain and head wind was not doing anything for morale so a well deserved change of environment was called for.
On 13 August 2007, Russ, Pam, Caroline & myself hopped on a plane to Malta to meet Jess (Embo's sister). Russ & I knew we were in for a grilling from our trainers.
14 August 2007
My birthday started with a walk along the harbour front with Russ followed by a nice cooked breakfast. Some lovely birthday presents that included a puncture repair kit and spare inner tube - bad luck!!!
Meet the Trainers
Caroline and Pam relaxing at the swim bar.
Over the next few days we were physically pushed to the limit, Russ & I could not wait to get home for a rest. At least City were top of the table and went on to beat Utd. Home, sweet, home. Jessy was left in Malta to carry on with her training!!!!!
A big thanks to the Rothenbergs for making us all feel at home and looking after our Jessy. Well done Jessy on your fantastic A Level results.

THE ROUTE
Stage 1 -02 June 08 (Embo's Birthday)
Lands End-Exeter 119 Miles
An easy stage to start with, predominantly on the A30 through the Cornish countryside. The route should be quiet fast appropriate 12-15 miles per hour. We will go around Dartmoor, don't fancy a bleak last 20/30miles (Might shorten this stage)
Stage 2 - 03 June 2008
Stage 3 - 04 June 2008
Bristol-Bridgnorth - 92.5 Miles
We are going via Mum and Dads in Malvern, always good for a cup of tea, should be feeling good-mid England.
Stage 4 - 05 June 2008
Bridgenorth-Little Sutton - 64.5 Miles
Gentle roll into Gods country - all will be there to see us home to a well deserved rest day!!!
06 June 2008 - Rest Day (10-20 Mile stretch)
Stage 5 - 07 June 2008
Little Sutton-Kendal - 86 Miles
Tough uphill stretch through the heart of Merseyside (Ferry across the Mersey) up to the Riddle valley and onto the Lakes. The stages are going to be more picturesque from now (Not that you can see when your blowing out of your backside)
Stage 6 -08 June 2008
Kendal - Dumfries - 82.4 Miles
Into Scotland we roll!!! Gretna is our first port of call (Won't be stopping there!!!)
Rest in the lovely town of Dumfries.
Stage 7 - 09 June 2008
Dumfries-Inverbeg -108 Miles
Looking forward to this stage, the last flat stage before King of the Mountains stage. The stage meanders through Glasgow and along side Loch Lommond. (Think we are camping tonight)
Stage 8 - 10 June 2008
Inverbeg-Invergarry-96.9 Miles
Through the mighty Glens we will ride, gathering strenght from the mountains around us. This is the stage I am most looking forward too (Polka dot for me)
Stage 9 -11 June 2008
Invergarry- Helmsdale -109 Miles
You can feel the end is near, along Loch Ness into Inverness and onto the last road (A9) Still a long stage for tired legs.
Stage 10 -12 June 2008
Helmsdale - John O Groats - 51.2 Miles
A year to the day that Embo left on her travels. We will roll out of Helmsdale on the short but uphill stretch to our objective. The plan is to be in JOG by 1200hrs.
Tea and Medals and a well deserved rest for all!!!
