Cwmbran, South Wales:
Alun Trueman has definatley signed for next years CCRI expedition.
Initially offering a 90% chance of joining the team and recently moving to 92%, Trueman, codename CarpBoy, discovered 11 days holiday he didn't know he had. This means his family commitments can take a back seat for 8 days in the Emerald Isle to join the expedition in 09.
"This is great news" quipped Gollobski (AKA Paul Henshaw), " To be honest, I was having some concerns about only 2 of us going. Maintaining the level of piss taking required between only 2 of us would have been difficult, now Al is coming we have a great source of inspiration"
Planning for the trip continues, Ebay is being checked regularly for bikes (if anyone out there can help please do)
Possible starting and stop off points are being contacted and Irish Radio stations too for support during the trip.
Stay Tuned for more winged fun

Truman '90% certain' is now Truman '92% certain'. Thanks Al
Al will be running a special seminar called 'how to make decisions the Truman way'
If you are not sure if this seminar is for you...don’t worry because Al is only 86% certain it is going to run anyway. There is a 20% certainty it will run this year, although this is subject ot change without warning.
