Anyone have a Tricyle for Dan Dan the IT Man?

Tomorrow the 26th August will be just 5 weeks away and we are planning our "Grand Depart".

We plan to leave Big Ben at 07.00hrs in the morning from Victoria Embankment on the north side of the river (opposite Big Ben). We have friends and family coming to wave us off but there's always room for more so come along if you have nothing better to do at that time of the morning (as if..!) come along. An open invitation has been extended to anyone who would like to join us for a ride be it the first 15 miles or the whole 90 to Portsmouth.

Plenty other Healix colleagues will be bringing their bikes out of the shed and riding with us the first miles to the Healix office in Hampton where a breakfast will be on hand for all. Everyone welcome and here's somewhere where we need some help....

Does anyone have or know anyone who has a tricycle? Dan Dan the IT man at Healix at the ripe old age of 24 cant ride a bike and they dont do stabilisers big enough anymore so the only chance he has of joiung us is if we can find him a trike to ride. If you can help please do let me know.

Dan will be joining us in Biarritz as one of our support drivers, well actually he cant drive a car either. Jeeze, why did we employ this boy I can hear you cry? Well because in every other way he is a generally good egg and alot of fun to have around. He's also a bit if a technical geek and is furiously working away at night to complete his IT foundation degree. Why am I telling you all this? Well here take a look at the product of his work: http://dangrigg.com/clock2rock.php .

Cool isnt it? So when we are out on the road down to Gibraltar every time I send a tweet it will be registered here on the website. Provided of course there is a phone signal. I should warn you that its a work in progress and may change in the next few weeks. I think he deserves a first for that though dont you? I shall be planning to test it out next week as we set off on our summer holiday across Britain.

We are headed down to Penzance early saturday morning to start our ride to John O'Groats, arriving (hopefully) arriving Friday 5th August then back down via the caledonian sleeper train. We have various stops with friends planned along the way so I am really looking forward to catching up with them.

There's a down side though, Saturday is mums cake sale in Saffron Walden outside Boots so if you are in town do go along and buy a cake from them. There are loads of yummy cakes of offer and in that respect I am rather upset to be missing it. :-( . The entire IT department at Healix will be upset to be missing it too as there is nothing we like more than cake in IT. Good luck mum and Chruc and Ann and all the other bakers. I hope it goes well and will be thinking of you. xx
