A couple of days out of the saddle as I played golf yesterday so my exercise was the 3 - 4 mile walk around the golf course in the sun! Today it is windy again and I forced myself through a head wind after benefitting from it for the Lavenham stretch of the journey!!!

Well Friday and Saturday nights shows went without much of a hitch and cast and crew loved every minute of it so it was a roaring success. Inevitably I was the lucky recipient of the Wally of the Week award thanks to my Fruitalanche on Thursday's opening night!!

First Night - Crash!
Time On Bike: 1 Hour 3 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 18.16 Miles
Average Speed: 17.3 mph
Weight: 13st 12lb
Totals: 51 Hours 38 Minutes, 862.18 Miles, 16.69 mph
Opening night of WestEnders started with a bang - literally. I walked on stage carrying my tray of fruit and placed it exactly where I had on dress rehearsal and suddenly - CRASH! - the whole barrow tipped forward and spilled fruit and flowers all over the stage! What a disaster. We carried on as true professionals and during the first scene the people in the market rectified the mess!! Apart from that the night was a great success!!
Bike wise, I travelled along a re-surfaced road this morning (where the council thinks it's a good idea to throw small chippings onto wet tar) where signs clearly warned 20mph was the recommended speed and yet despite the fact that I was doing that 20mph all the cars still thought it a good idea to speed past and cover me with chippings. If not for my cycle glasses I'd probably be blind now!!

Technical Rehearsal
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 7 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 21.78 Miles
Average Speed: 19.5 mph
Weight: 13st 11lb
Totals: 50 Hours 35 Minutes, 844.02 Miles, 16.68 mph
Last night was a Technical / Dress Rehearsal for the show. It went very well without any real technical issues. Darren Smalley is a marvel on the lighting board and Steph his significant other was on follow spot - brilliant. A few props down but we'll sort that for tonights opening salvo.
Back on the road this morning I was running a bit late anyway because of having to drop MBJ's car off for it's MOT and I was pounding the pedals against a head wind when coming into Lavenham the road to Melford proclaimed re-surfacing work and two bends in it then said ROAD CLOSED. I had to divert back to Acton and come in from there - hence the extra time and extra miles!!!

40 Percent.....and then a bit more
Time on Bike: 2 Hours 6 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 36.12 Miles
Average Speed: 17.2 mph
Weight: 14st
Totals: 49 Hours 28 Minutes, 822.24 Miles, 16.62 mph
I should have blogged 40 percent on Friday but Blogger was down so this is an amalgamation of two posts. Also on Friday I was down to 13st 10lb but now we've had a weekend and....
Wedding fever happened on Saturday with the nuptials of Julian and Lyndsay. What a great day! And I almost remember some of it!! Gin, Pimms, Beer, Wine was the main sequence of events interspersed by Ceremony, Food, Speeches and Dancing. We had a fantastic day and Sunday was spent sore headed and silent.
Thankfully I was feeling well enough on Sunday evening to go to Coggeshall to pick up the counter/bar for our WestEnders show as well as the barrows and flats. Final rehearsal tonight and then all systems go on Wednesday...

Final Run
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 2 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 19.93 Miles (Sort of!)
Average Speed: 19.28 mph
Weight: 13st 12lb
Totals: 47 Hours 22 Minutes, 786.12 Miles, 16.59 mph
Last night was our final full run of WestEnders before curtain up at the Quay next week. It was the last time that Alex will be with us before opening night because of his job. Izzy came along (on request) with her arm in a sling thanks to a broken collar bone but it didn't impede her performance. And it all went very well!!
Today was blustery. Head wind but thankfully on the downslopes so I was still able to maintain a good speed - hence the notch up in avearge onec again!!
