"You
reckon it can be done two days, that's plain rude". "Alright
then lets give it a crack". I had ridden
the route many times before and sort of knew what we were in for. Bones
on the other hand was a tour virgin and only had my recollections to go
on, which with hindsight, were very much of the rose tinted variety. Time
had done a wonderful job of blanking out all of those hard bits that the
mind files away under the heading of "Pain and Suffering". The
alarm went off at the unsocial time of 4.30am, all was black outside and
the realisation of what we were about to do hit me. Bones was already
up sorting the all important jam butties and pot of coffee out, time to
get ready. The sun started to make an appearance and we decided it was time to take our seats aboard the pain train and leave the chalet behind. We made our way up the valley, relishing the opportunity to hammer the quiet trails and concentrate on line choices and not other trail users.
