Should I....

...cycle to Brighton on a crisp clear Saturday morning, sandwiched between late week Roundhouse gigs and the wonderful Cougar on Sunday evening.

..or stay in bed, cocooned against the cold.

24 hours cycling from Lisbon

Yes, its possible, as long as you have a little help.

Even if you're only in Lisbon for four days. As long as you meet up with Didier from Bike Iberia and he decides that you're cut of the right kind of cycling stuff to suggest that you should take on the Sebutal Peninsula.

Suffice to say Lisbon was still fairly hot in late October, we got to swim in the sea, and survived a hideous morning ride up (on something I swear was a motorway) to the least bike friendly rail station ever.

Full report on its way. We're just being a bit slack at the moment. Its winter you see.
