The contrast couldn't have been more stark. After a week cycling in Galicia I joined the Dynamos for our first team outing. It was a grimly wet morning with an early start but it set the tone for meeting a challenge. The night of the 19th is looming nearer and our dietary plans for the pre Dynamo days are being honed to perfection. Chris prefers the Tracker Bar approach, Tim has similar inclinations but will be supplementing this with Miracle Grow or some such strength enhancing hormone whilst Martin favours the Fry up routine and myself the Turkish vegetarian option supplanted with organic dried apricots etc. etc. You've seen the video in the car park - it could all have been so much easier as these tranquil shots of my own recent travels will show....
