Schlapp abroad

So, while you and I are slaving over a hot keyboard, the rain lashes down outside and there is a pile of washing awaiting to be ironed, some Schlapps will be sunnin g it up around the world.
First to leave these shores will be Anthony Kappes and Ellen Hunter who will be checking out Jams of Australia at Benditandem or somewhere like that. Apparently, they are going under the guise of a training camp. Not together you understand - although on the same plane. They are going with WCPP and Ant, bless his cotton Marmalades, will be going on to sample the delights of China for a day or two. Check out them dragons Ant. The ones in China that is.

Then, next off to top up his suntan and big it oop in the night-clubs of Ibiza is Fil'uff. Mr 'uff tells me there is a track in Ibiza where is going to be training every day. Yeah, right :-)

Furthermore Jonathon Norfolk is off to the West Indies again for a spot of racing, Rum drinking and talking about dem tings dat are portant. Nice. Mr Norfolk will be defendin his 'best overseas riders who coped with the falling down water' title.

Later in the year David Jackson - last seen cycling furiously round the track - is off to Nepal to climb some hills. Big hills I'm told. No doubt we will have a whip round for some Imodium before he goes.

We wish them all the very best for a speedy and safe return. Hard life being a Schlapp innit?
