Training 29 June 2008

It's amazing what you can see when you slow down your pace of life. Cycling gives you that perfect speed between walking and driving. Walking allows you to see your surroundings in great detail but you only get to see a small part of it. Riding in a car, you can see vast distances but with little detail. Cycling is the perfect medium. Ask any cyclist and they will tell you of all the strange and wonderful things they pass. Such as suicidal wildlife, dead wildlife, farm critters, other odd people in lycra, and odd objects in verges. This picture falls into the odd category, unless you are "in the know". It's the time of year for the Wrenbury Scarecrow Trail (www.scarecrowtrail.co.uk). Where local residents of this small Cheshire village (in conjunction with the local school) construct fantastic scarecrows for all to enjoy. I liked this particular dude as it looks like Steve when I mentioned we will have to ride 230 miles in our first three days!
