		<title>Pisa Rome Day Three: Orvieto to Rome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There were a few people looking a bit the worse for wear on Saturday morning. after some pretty serious sampling of the local white the night before.&#160; Nevertheless, most people were there at breakfast&#160; on time with the exception of Lee and me who slept in due to some mutual but non contemporaneous snoring action.

		<title>Quick update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The internet connection in the Rome hotel is truly hopeless and certainly not sufficient for uploading photographs or blog entries.&#160; Day three will be uploaded once we get back to Cambridge but for the moment it is enough to say we all made it to Rome and everybody is well.&#160; More later.]]></description>

		<title>Pisa Rome Day Two: Sienna to Orvieto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is nothing quite like that feeling of getting on a bike saddle on day two of a long ride.&#160; Oh dear, it really is painful. But before that joy we had a lovely breakfast with the sun rising over the rolling Tuscan hills.&#160; A bit of buggering about with the bikes and the bags [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pisa Rome Day One: Pisa to Sienna</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The day dawned a bit chilly and we all met for an early breakfast.&#160; With the sounds of JJ McNeil ringing in our ears, we got out and got on the road exactly on time at 8am.&#160; We cycled through Pisa to have the obligatory traditional photo of the group at the leaning tower.&#160; Note [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pisa Rome Day Zero: Cambridge to Pisa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As many of you know, a whole bunch of people are going to cycle from Pisa to Rome in memory of John Stewart who died of Prostate Cancer recently.&#160; It’s a tough cycle despite travelling through some of the most beautiful countryside in the world. This trip has been a long time in the planning [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paris Geneva Photographs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A bunch of people took photographs and give them to me on some cards.&#160; I’ve done some fairly brutal editing (the drinking shots and the “gut shots”) but there are still more than 90.&#160; I’ve tried to keep ones of everybody and ones that give an idea of the whole trip.&#160; They are roughly in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paris Geneva: Day 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite not staying out late at night with the scantily clad young Swiss men and women in the centre of Lausanne, it was still a rough morning.&#160; Layton decided to go back early to get a scan (since confirmed as ok), Dik’s knee had blown up in the night so he got an early flight [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paris Geneva: Day 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day 3: After the sheer pain of Day 2, day three was never going to start well.&#160; This was the day with “the show”, “the money shot”, the thing we’d cycled all the way from Paris to do:&#160; the big climb into Switzerland and there was a lot of nervousness at the start.&#160; I pretty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paris Geneva: Day 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The best thing to say about today was that “It didn’t rain…much”.&#160; A long long day. We started out in two groups.&#160; A “fast group” and “the rest”.&#160; I was in “the rest” so can’t really comment much about the fast group. It started badly with a big climb up some cobbles and just got [...]]]></description>
