Poor old Pete!- 3rd March 2008

Went out again on the bike to some private woods where my mate Pete Jago had permission to ride round.
Nice little track it was aswell. Plenty of woods, a few roots, a lovely little rocky river and 2 bloody steep hills (and i mean steep). Hit the deck a few times on the steep hills because the more we were riding up them, the more slippery they got! No harm done though, it was all good training.
Now then, Pete was well under the weather with a bug, but being the hardened stout biker that he is, he wanted to go out and ride regardless. After about 30 mins up come last nights dinner, then 5 mins later his supper, followed by his breakfast another 5 mins after that! He took a break and was still 'yaking up' even when doing nothing! As i done another lap (with Pete taking a rest) i got stranded on one of the steep hills, Pete came down to give us a hand and haul the bike back up to the top and promptly 'yakked' up again!
I'm telling you what, that bloke has got a deep stomach! i lost count the number of times he threw up. (it got to the stage where i nearly phoned up the guiness book of records).
After a couple of hours of riding it was off home.
Thanks to Pete for making the effort to ride with us, and get well soon mate!
