'How about we do a 2000 mile bike tour around the USA...' - T Matthews (non compos mentis, 06/09)

Welcome to your personal insight into the progress, trials (hopefully metaphoric not literal) and tribulations that befall us on our two week trip from San Francisco through a lot of west coast United States and back again.
I hope this blog will give anyone who's interested (maybe you need to get out more) a look at what is going on once we set off on our American adventure.
For anyone who doesn't know, the Red Lion Bikers referred to herein are...
Andy Reid, Shaun 'Digger'Halliwell, Chris Colder, Pete Robinson, Tony Matthews and Neil Heldreich
The bikes are booked, everyone's paid up, gear is being acquired (though quite what Tony needs a wholesale batch of Anusol for is anyone's guess) and we set off on Sunday 28th March.
We hope to have a lot of laughs and if you'd like a few too then read on...

Oh bugger... Tony and Neil arrested!


A slight spanner in the works this morning. Two of our number, both known for their jolly japes, took things a little too far as we took in the sights of San Diego harbour. Tony thought it would be amusing to tell an assembled group of Americans how their version of 2nd World War history is everso slightly innaccurate and that the first three years weren't in fact a warm up.

Unfortunately for Tony and Neil who happened to be laughing loudest at Tone's wit, one of the crowd was an 'on duty' copper who proceeded to arrest our two boys for behaviour likely to incite a mild outburst. They were last seen being taken away by the rozzers to be given some 'local hospitality'.

In true Red Lion Bikers fashion, the rest of us did a runner and are hot tailing it out of here before Neil and Tony break under torture and give our location away.
