BMX Bandido


Went on the mission, but inadvertently got drawn to the world reknowned BMX track in Coppull. Not been there since I was a wee nipper, but I had the entire track to myself this morn. Pulled off a few neat tricks, and managed to master the racing line on my fourth ride round. Suspension came into its own on the bumps.

Couldn't find any roof dwellers or hole hiders in Coppull, so travelled up into Chaz Dick (Charnock Richard). Found a man on a roof quite easily, but it was tricky taking a photo of him - without him noticing, didn't want him to think I was from the benefits office. Managed to hide behind his vehicle and pounce at an opportune moment.

People in holes was a completely different matter however. Headed off into Eccleston, Mawdesley and Wrightington - but nobody around. However I did spot a Men at Work sign in Wrightington at the end of a country lane. Cycled for about half a mile looking for men in a hole, but to no avail. Cursed a lot. Wasn't entirely a wasted journey though as I did see The Windmill pub in Eccleston sporting a England Flag Mural (lovely stuff).

All in all I am starting to put some mileage into my legs, which has to be a good thing. Still feel rough though. Came back through Standish, so it was nice to see the sign for Coppull.

I wonder if the town of Szekesfehervar has a sign saying

"Szekesfehervar, Twinned with Coppull"

Going to Spar to top up on Chemical Crisp and Steak Canadians.
