The team were in training for the raid with a trip to France for the famous Boulogne Bicycle Rally last weekend. For the uninitiated this is a 26mile cycle ride on vintage bicycles with a mandatory bar stop for beer or Paul Ricard's Patis every couple of miles. Apparently the route follows a pre-war motor racing track although where the track actually went has long since been forgotten and a number of different routes are used to travel the short distance between each bar.
A special mention should be made of Matt Sheperd who decided that the gruelling 26miles on an ancient bicycle with the equally gruelling number of alcohol stops was not enough of a challenge and duly proceded to ride the entire route with two flat tyres. An interesting technique that probably won't be seen again for a number of years......

Clearly the Paul Ricardo Patrese beverage has affected William's spelling somewhat.
Quite agree, Jeremy!
