It's been a week of honing the badger calves in preparation for the Dunwich Dynamo tonight. For the unitiated, this is an annual overnight cycle from Hackney to Dunwich in Suffolk - a distance of a mere 120 miles. My brother in law and cycling partner Marc flew in from the Netherlands earlier this week and we have been busy pedalling around London, fine-tuning our bikes, watching the depressing unfolding of events of this year's Tour and fuelling ourselves on fine foods and real ales: no need for blood-doping or extra testosterone! As a result of the increased physical activity, and in spite of the extra boozing, my blood sugar has been reasonably well behaved this week, which is good news after the double figures that were starting to become worryingly regular over the past couple of months. Fellow Devo aficionado, father of four and semi Belgian Nick Smith is coming up from Hernia Bay to join us, along with an anticipated 700 or so others. Should be fun if the weather and the legs hold out. Allez! Wish us luck!

Wha hey...tha they blow! A finer pair of calves you won't find this side of a Devonshire Jersey cow breeder.
And can you really say you're doing this ride drug free with all your current pill popping? Just the drugs won't help.
Go on, get smacked up to your tits on EPO & testosterone and engorge your veins with pints of someone else's blood. It's totally legit, they do it in Le Tour, right?
Well, did the legs make it? Did you follow them?
