That reminds me of an eventful holiday I had back in that really hot summer of 1976 when I went down to Woolacombe in Devon with my mate Kenny and a couple of girls. We'd booked a fortnight in a caravan belonging to one of the girl's parents. On the first night we got completely arseholed and during the night I woke up dying for a dodo so I staggered out of the caravan in a drunken stupor to relieve myself in the toilet tent. In the morning we discovered there was no toilet tent. I'd managed to find my way into the awning of the caravan next door and had a dodo in a plastic box full of shoes. The owners were not happy but couldn't prove who did it.
The holiday was cut short the following weekend when Kenny injured his knob in a freak accident. We were walking along a nearby beach one evening when we decided to give the girls a good seeing to in the sand dunes. I'd just started to get into the rhythm when we heard terrible screams and Kenny came running out with blood pouring down his white Oxford bags. His love truncheon had slipped out of the golden gully and when he tried to push it back in again he missed. His todger had slid down under her arse and he'd ripped his bell end open on a sharp bit of sea shell poking up out of the sand.
I've never seen so much blood and by the time we managed to get him to hospital he'd almost passed out. I thought he was going to die and all I could think about was what I was going to tell his mum. I still see him and we laugh about it now but it wasn't so funny at the time. Happy days.

When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk.

I find myself, somehow, on the Pacific North West of the USA, north of Seattle and 100 mile short of real bacon (Canada).
Been here since 4.06 and it's okay.
Last year I rode across the US and then down to Death Valley, so 20k miles or there about, but I managed to confine Interstates to only 22 miles total.
I also only stopped at one off places (no mctuckeyfriedsubhutburger joints).
This lead me start a website www.unchainedworld.com where I'm collecting recommendations for one off places and services for bike travellers, from around the world. While it's under construction, you can still post to recommendations@unchainedworld.com
The end result should enable you to enter a route and see which unchaineds are along the way, downlaod a gps route or a map.
There have been some strange entries so far, a cafe specialising in spam, a 72oz steak place in Texas (free if eaten in 1 hr) the 2nd best chippie in Britain, a cheese restaurant in Belgium and 3 ethiopian cafes, oh yes and a tibetan tea house and sanctuary (in Scotland).
I hope you'll be able to come up with some unchaineds of your own.
Cheers and God Save the Queen,
Lamble.

We did the national bike museum a couple of weeks back and then a run down the fosseway back to Bristol.
It was weird seeing all those bikes all perfect, shiny and silent. Not at all the way I remembered them back when we could buy and sell them for a few quid and were always hacking them about and falling off them.
Do you know of any bike events down this way? There is the Shepton Mallet show in Feb but that's all I know about.
Cheers, C.
