The hungry cyclist!

It's been 3 tough days of cycling. About 600 km around some overwhelming hills in Scotland against the nastiest wind i've ever cycled in.
Last night we had dinner at a farm courtesy of Andrew Johnson just outside Perth where the local council offered us an epic bbq and whisky.
Today as we entered England, we've been hit by horrible weather including hailing and heavy downpours. On the other side, our first English meal has been a real blessing thanks to a local brewery where we're staying 10 miles north of Newcastle.
Speaking of food, we've been organized by a real expert on the matter. Talking life with Tom on the first night, we found out that he went to school in the same school my sister teaches in Abingdon. After some studies in sculpturing and something else i can't quite remember now, Tom has dedicated his last years to cycling the world, cooking (which means eating) and writing. In his book The Hungry Cyclist, tom tells the stories of his journey from Mew York to Rio i think, and gives recipes he finds out and discovers here and there. Smiley chatty chap, always available and optimistic, Tom's been a great part of the support crew and i thank him for keeping us fed and for all the driving around. Cheers for tom!
