The Spirit of the Stairwell

Day Three: Friday 11th December 2009

  • And we’re off. Come on guys, we’re bleeding daylight. On the road to #COP15
  • We’re being interviewed by Radio 5 Live in a few minutes. #COP15
  • Radio 5 interview will be played today during drive time show if anybody’s interested. Ali G repping the importance of the #COP15 talks.
  • Alison & I just joined the 20mph High Five club. We feel pretty good about it. #COP15
  • Hello new tweeters. Just to bring you up to date, we’re cycling to the #COP15 #Climate talks. 140 miles to stand up and be counted.
  • Jim’s chain just fell off again #COP15
  • Heartening to see all the wind turbines placed strategically downwind of Middlefart #COP15
  • Motion blurred picture of the awesome tandem couple doing the ride to #COP15. They rescued a grouse earlier too. http://bit.ly/7iTCHX
  • Got our first negative RT. Guy’s from Texas. Imagine our surprise. We all collectively fell off our bikes in shock. #COP15
  • Amazing Tandem couple, Peter & Rowena, are doing a live radio interview WHILST CYCLING. Legends. #COP15
  • Denmark is as flat as the pancake I had for breakfast this morning. And dotted with wind turbines (the pancake was dotted with jam) #COP15
  • Copenhagen Cycle Update: Iconic fist punching the air moment nearly ends in ditch dive #COP15
  • Denmark is the Rusty Death Machine’s friend – no hills, no bends – Jim says he feels like he’s cycling on the shoulders of giants #COP15
  • Premiere Radio has its own jingle for Ben, one of our riders. He does updates daily. This is how it goes “Where’s Ben? Ding! Ding!” #COP15
  • http://tweetphoto.com/6213523 Jim & the RDM get interviewed for The Guardian #COP15
  • Lost in Denmark. Whoops. We’re going to try a shortcut. #COP15
  • Let’s offroad! On road bike tyres http://tweetphoto.com/6214853 #COP15
  • #Haiku: Tarmac we miss you/ spinning beneath our thin tyres/ like a welcome mat #COP15
  • Slipstreaming behind the tandem = bliss #COP15
  • Picture of me #ontheroad courtesy of some impressive trick cycling by Jim. Note the one ungloved hand for tweets http://bit.ly/6yRWYK #COP15
  • Jim just sat on himself #COP15
  • Jim keeps holding his hand outstretched to red traffic lights and muttering “Go green”. One went green. Jim now thinks he’s a Jedi #COP15
  • Buzzing the cycle speed cameras in the town centre. It displays the speed on readout. The RDM managed 29 kmh. Then the chain fell off #COP15
  • RT @carbonmarch: We can afford to save the world, says ecoEquity. But #climate justice cannot be achieved without economic justice. #COP15
  • #COP15 Update: 6 punctures, 1 lady lost in the woods, 1 swollen finger and someone fell over the pavement and sat on himself again (Jim)
  • Love the new #GoodCop #BadCop hashtags. #COP15
  • Sponsorship has just topped 48k. We’d love to get up to 50k before we cycle into Copenhagen. Anyone help? #COP15
  • Disaster! Puncture. Argh! #COP15
  • http://tweetphoto.com/6219144 Alex to the rescue. #COP15
  • Jim just stacked it. On an empty country road #COP15
  • Have formed courageous splinter group- Alpha squadron due to extreme geographical displacement from main body of cyclists #COP15
  • Made it to Nyborg. Evidently Alpha Squadron took a hugely circuitous route as we are here about an hour after everyone else. #COP15
  • We have been run ragged by an amazing group of Christian Aid supporters. Many in their 60 & 70s. Copenhagen is but one day’s ride. #COP15
  • Alex just told Jim that he’d been wearing his gloves the wrong way round all day. Jim said that he thought they were chaffing a bit #COP15
  • Safe in the hostel. 25 miles from Copenhagen. We’re in spitting distance now. But that’s a dirty habit #COP15
