JOGLE day 4

Day four and I'm going to be brief. Not only was today quite uneventful I'm also exhausted, I think we were all a little complacent when thinking that it would be a doddle compared to yesterday. The route was about ten miles shorter and a little flatter, this however did not take into consideration the bone shaking road surface, constant head wind, damp weather and the not so delightful views as we pretty much followed the M74 out of Scotland and all the way to Carlisle.

On a separate note I promised to share some other details with you today. I personally have never been tempted to let silicone go any where near my body but am aware that many ladies enjoy its effects when implanted in certain areas. A more common body area for such silicone enhancements in the Asian population is its use to enhance the shape of the derrière, this is one part of my body that certainly has never needed any help, that was until a few days ago. I have been warned by many cycling friends that my bottom is going to bear the brunt of this challenge, all the same I did not know what to expect and just hoped that my natural padding would be sufficient; unfortunately it seems not. Before beginning this ride we were given a first aid list with various creams and lotions that I was not even aware of, however one item with which I was familiar was the blister miracle plaster that is made of a silicone type gel. Knowing that my shoes fit well I did not feel it necessary to stock up on this, I certainly did not think outside of the box. Now I won't disturb you with any details but let's just say I never expected silicone to be anywhere near my derrière.
