Ride from Bamford to Bradfield for day 2 of Tour de Yorkshire.

Leaving Bradfield with the masses....madness!

Ride back to bamford with a stop at strines inn with Neil and Zanthe - after an hour at the pub, overtook all the cars that had driven past whilst we'd been stopped before we hit the a57...

Early ride out to buttertubs for the tour with peloton de sedbergh! Felt the large amount of wine on the steep climb at the end but a lovely morning for a ride. Followed by 7hrs of tour excitement and about 30s of watching tour riders. Made the highlights running between vantage points :-)

Ride back to sedbergh after a 40min walk down buttertubs. Great fun chaingang stylee with a few other riders along the way.

Lump getting larger - more swelling - confirmed as ganglion cyst. So, 5 weeks to the itera, the only treatment option offered between now and then by the GP was homeopathy which I'm not sure I'm pinning all my hopes on.....
It may just go away on it's own, however I can't really take the risk of it not - On the hunt for somebody to aspirate it asap then hoping it lasts until the end of the race/at least for a few days into it! Alternative plans involving two different laces in shoes so not putting so much pressure across it in development.
Anyone any experience with this/ any ideas?

Foot swelling returned - antibiotics not making any difference, I think Zanthe is right with Ganglion cyst theory.

Kayaking with Helen - speedy bursts then some bobbing around to regroup. Another lovely evening on Windermere :-)
