Has anyone seen my bike?

Hi there,
Well ...Chris and I are still in the UK eating our way around the country and getting back to normal weight before flying back to the states this coming Thursday. We did our first swim session with the masters squad in Shrewsbury where Chris's mother lives and that was a shock to the system. There weren't many swimming pools in Africa with masters swimming sessions and so the body kinda died on Saturday. It was good to be back in water and we are also back running. The running has been tough on Chris's legs as they are so used to cycling -- he had to walk backwards after running one day as a result of the cramps he was getting. A soft tissue massage from yours truely sorted them out and although he is not 100% at least he can walk forwards and not look like a character out of a John Cleese play or a Little Britain skit!!!

Unfortunately the other task that I have been doing is pestering British Airways as they lost my bike in transit from South Africa to London. I am still bikeless 5 days later!!! British Airways managed to lose my bike on our flight from Cape Town on the 23rd May and they still can not find it!!! The BA folks in South Africa claim that it left the country AND London BA have lost it and BA London are claiming the opposite. Bottom line --- no bike, no tent, no cycling clothes, no second place trophies, no knick knacks from the trip. Fingers crossed that they find it...apparently it is like finding a needle in the haystack at Lost Luggage Heathrow so myhopes are not high.

Chris posted the words to his song that he sang in the talent quest we had on the second to last evening of the tour. It was well received and very entertaining for us but I'm sure some of you will be wondering who half the people are but you know the rules..what goes on tour stays on tour!!!
I have to call BA again....later
