Epic Bike Ride

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Last weekend a few of us headed to York to ride to Bridlington, at the request of Marc, as it was his birthday. First stop was Holland & Barret for energy bars and ‘man muck’, which was the power gels that Marc later proclaimed was like man muck.. “Mad respect to women who swallow… this is rank”.

Tony ‘camp as christmas’ came along

Danny got the first and only puncture, but it earned us some time to check the map and rest a little

Birthday boy

Every time we looked through my photos Tony would look at this one and try and proclaim that he reminded himself of Jason Statham and that ‘You wouldn’t mess with him would you”.

Tony then goes and ruins the ‘hard guy’ image by buying a huge scotch egg from a mobile butchers called ‘Meat Your Needs’ (Serious) and pulling a stupid face.

Farm shop. By this point we were making amazing progress and had covered most of the distance with about two hours peddling time.

My beast

We eventually made it to Bridlington, and the weather could not have been better. We checked into a small family owned B&B and made friends with their awesome dog.

Deserved

There were a few Hen do’s kicking around, and bearing in mind that Brid is a shit hole and full of inbred chavs you can imagine the standard of bride….

I have honestly never seen so many old people at once, Brid was CRAWLING with them. Literally.

Nothing better than chilling in the evening warmth on the beach with your mates

This is Marc PISSING in a hole in the sand. Lovely.

Would you trust this man?

The talk turned to stories about Marc, Baz and Tony growing up in their village just outside Newcastle and it made my childhood seem tame! I had drunk way more beers than everyone else here and I don’t really remember much else. Fun night though!

Oops.

Mega windy in the morning… went to rag Marc’s covers off him in his room to wake him up and, unbeknownst to me, Marc is shit in the mornings and he nearly swung for me calling me a speccy cunt hahaha, it was hilarious!
