Nottingham to Paris 2009

In April 2009 we (Glen & Greg) are cycling from Nottingham to Paris, because we want to.

We also want you to join us for parts (or all) of the journey. Get in touch if can you cycle 50+ miles a day with a hangover.

Two one halves of one introduction

Glen and Greg are cycling Here we go then. Swinfield and I are cycling to Paris (from Nottingham) as our first cycling expedition, and this website will document our training, preparation and all sorts of other stuff. We made this site because we both make websites for a living, so it would’ve been silly not to create one for this. There’s also the hope that someone planning their first medium-to-long distance cycle will hopefully learn from some of our mistakes/successes. If you’re savvy you’ll notice we’re currently on a subdomain; the onemorehero.co.uk site will eventually be a cycling site of it’s own.

As mentioned at the top, we’re doing this because we want to. We both love cycling and visiting new places, and I have a sneaky suspicion that this particular expedition is going to the first of many, not to mention the closest to home. If you fancy joining us for a spot of exercise, a spot of self-destruction, or a spot of cheerleading drop us an email.

I think that’s about it for now – I’m shite at writing introductory things. Be sure to jump on the RSS Feed, we’ll be posting fun stuff up almost daily. Loving your work.

    Best of luck my dear colleagues. Not sure how I’ll cope without the inane, mind-numbing banter and obscure punk music whilst you are away, but I’ll do my best.

    @Rich - thanks. If a more positive sentence can be written - I can’t think of it.

    @Colly - you’ll cope. Somehow you’ll cope.
