Day One: Wednesday 9th December 2009

We’re going to Copenhagen … right now. #COP15 http://yfrog.com/35s9mj
Cycled across London from Waterloo to Liverpool Street in 15 minutes carrying ALL our luggage (Jim had a bag strapped back and front) #COP15
Jim: I trained in the Peak District, the only I had to worry about hitting was a sheep. London was a bit of a shock. Poor lamb #COP15
Already used the Leatherman once (to fit Jim’s lock bracket to his bike while on the Stansted train). Cashback! #COP15
We’re cycling to Copenhagen. Because we believe the fate of the human race hangs in the balance. And to see the little mermaid statue #COP15
We may be slightly … SLIGHTLY mind you … lost. #COP15
Jim’s chain just fell off #COP15
Jim just set off down a dirt track claiming it was the official route. He was incorrect. #COP15
Have removed the offending arrow that sent us the wrong way. We’re at the front so should help the rest of the team. Feel like heroes #COP15
17 miles towards Copenhagen and now bacon sandwich and hot choc. Have lost Jim. http://maps.google.com/?q=51.954245%2C0.491903 #COP15
Just got a call from Jim. He zigged when he should have zagged. He’s now about 5 miles too far North. #COP15
We’ve managed to lose 7 so far. There’s 28 of us in total so we should all be gone by Friday. #COP15
Copenhagen accident roster: one puncture and someone fell over while stationary. #COP15
Jim’s shoelace has become entangled in the inner workings of his bike. Time to stop and tweet. #COP15 http://yfrog.com/1ds6bmj
Copenhagen Newsflash: In saddle high five almost results in death. (we’re cycling to Denmark) #COP15
#COP15 Sign by the roadside “500 Xmas Trees for sale. 1 mile” Do they travel the mile every time they make a sale to update the sign?
About Jim’s bike. He bought it for £5 from a car boot. Now he is riding it to Denmark. He is either fiercely passionate or insane. #COP15
#COP15 We’re cycling to Copenhagen to add our voice to the outraged cry for #climate justice. Also we like bacon.
Jim Update: Jim’s bike has now lost the ability to change gears. Take that bargain boy. #COP15
Blasting through the countryside. The houses we’re passing are thatched with timber beams. The structures lean slightly into the road #COP15
I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing than this. Fields of rapeseed rolling out on either side. Take a breath. The road to #COP15
Cycling to Copenhagen. 28 of us and so far we’ve raised £46,700 for Christian Aid. Sponsor us? #COP15
Time for a rest. Tomato soup & the most amazing chocolate cake ever. http://bit.ly/4XBQbt 50 miles down http://bit.ly/5tg4lm #COP15
On the road to Copenhagen with Alison ‘The world is my toilet’ Gregory and Jim ‘My bike costs less than a large Happy Meal’ Atkins. #COP15
Have renamed Jim’s bike The Rusty Death Machine. #COP15
Jim just ate a fly #COP15
On the road to Copenhagen. Incident report: one more puncture. Also Jim has stolen my water bottle and cycled off giggling on the RDM #COP15
I’ll catch him as soon as he hits a hill and has to get off and walk #COP15 (RDM= Rusty Death Machine. All the kids are using it.)
Slightly illegal, high speed self portrait photo that disappointingly looks like I’m standing still #COP15 http://yfrog.com/3lb28fj
Oh dear! RT @Christian_aid #COP15 update: Leaked draft agreement sends chilling message to poor countries http://bit.ly/8T5EbN
@Cereal_eater has started up a Pro-Jim campaign on Facebook. Not sure about this. Here’s some promotional gumph http://bit.ly/7xssZx #COP15
Jim and I have decided to mount a daring raid on the catering van. Fighting #climate change is hard work. #COP15
Chocolate cake after 60 miles is guilt free. Imagine that! Guilt. Free. #COP15
Our first day’s ride is over and we’re 60 miles nearer the #COP15 talks. Thanks to all you retweeters. Great day. http://bit.ly/7O4QgB
You haven’t experienced a shower until you’ve had one after being on a bike for over 8 hours. It’s lovely. #COP15
Jim informs me that this is the most boring ship he’s ever been on. 15 hours until we hit Europe. #COP15
