Sun - Not a day to remember with joy.  Colonoscopy in the morning, clean bill of health so next test in 5 years.  Then throughout day increasingly negaive news about mum who has just had an operation.  She died this afternoon so we are flying back to UK tonight.
Sat - Lazy start to day, then tandemed 14km to Hamala where we had a drink overlooking the 'sea front'.
Fri - Stoker failed to wake up, so I went alone to follow the office team on the Bahrain Relay Marathon.  Parked at Awali and cycled 45km, hopping along the 3km stages. Nice weather, team did well, bettwe position than last year and most did personal bests.
