Rog

Number 4: Rog

Last years super sub is this years mainstay. The power from the back, hoping to finally finish the bed race after 2 previous ghost appearances. He says he was there, but where is the proof? Except for the photos. But who believes them? Certainly not his sister...

Most likely to say:I appear to have missed the last bus home

Least likely to: Be believed about his sporting endeavours.

Remembered for: Being a gentleman.

We salute ye!

Quicker n quicker

Sunday morning.

Cold and dreary.

Big Paul and Rog back from the sun.

17:50.

Big wheels keep on turning...

The Iron Lady

She floats.

Getting quicker

Full route (almost) = 18:10

We just keep getting quicker!

Judder

On Sunday we were very lucky to be visited by Professors Hans Knees and Bumpsa Daisy, members of the Deutscher Institute der Crazee Kontraption.

They worked vigilantly on the front wheels of the monster and came up with this simple but effective ant-judder device. We will be trialling it on Tuesday.

Light that big candle

Looking good...

Hot dang

She weighs a tonne, she kicks like a mule and she wakes the kids up when she goes by but she flies like the wind!

16:45 last night with only 4 of us pushing the new silver dream machine. And Kingo's shorts almost fell down.

We're getting faster, if not fitter.

New Bed!

Arrives tomorrow!

Come on!

Will post pictures asap.

Runnity Run Run

Ok,

A lot of running over the weekend with our 5 man bed.

Friday - 19:30 Oh dear

Sunday - 18:45 Better

Monday - 18:30 Yes!

Getting better all the time.

Deep waters run cold

Run, with river crossing.

Not trying too hard + poor crossing = 18:15

Last year we were doing 18 dead just before the race and thinking it was pretty good.

Interesting!

Big Steve

Number 3: Big Steve

Like Lazarus, Big Steve managed to rise from the dead last year to power the mighty Juggernaut's to glory, fuelled only by nurofen and the tears of his daughter. Once the most fearsome of fast bowlers the Wetherby area has ever known, the Shoaib of Sinklinghall now saves his chin music and medium-pace-do-nothings for the other bed race teams. Be warned.

Most likely to say: I can't walk, let alone run - of course I'm playing cricket on Saturday. And Sunday.

Least likely to: Ever wear a chicken costume again.

Remembered for: Doing it when it mattered.

We salute ye!

Sky rocket in flight

A cracking Saturday was had, creating a space shuttle. Luckily for us the wonderful Jugg Clark had done lots of ground work, so we spent the afternoon assembling, tinkering, eating sausages and trying out Jugg Allison's fine beer. Everything is coming together nicely...

Go here to some shots - http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/mpyoung/BedRace2010?authkey=Gv1sRgCLqclcSm4NinGg#

Cap'n Head

Number 2: Heady, The Captain, Bossman, Andy

His word is law, his say is final, when the foot comes down it stays put down. The super scouse speedster is a sporting miracle. Aged 102 he can still propel himself on 30 mile bike rides before running faster than the rest of the team. His legs are a miracle of modern science - the man spent 2 weeks trapped in Mallorca and his legs were still whiter than the inside of Matt's wallet.

Most likely to say: Why would you hide a lemon in there?

Least likely to: Let another team overtake the bed.

Remembered for: Coming up with the whole, brilliant, stupid idea in the first place.

We salute ye!

Let's get it on!

The target is set.

£4,000.


Let's have yer money!

Happy Birthday Skip

Swiss family Head have returned from their brutal enforced sojourn in a million pound, Spanish villa. Braving the terror of a 5-star luxury cruise liner and a 30 hour coach trip the captain led his band of plucky young scousers to the relative safety of good old Yorkshire. And just in time for his 65th birthday.

Many happy returns and a hip, hip Huzzah.

Legs alert...Legs alert...

For the disbelievers out there here are some action shots of the mighty Juggernauts ploughing their way around the Arkendale 10K course. Did the earth move for you?

Kingo

First in an occasional series -meet The Juggs.

Number 1: Kingo, lead off man extraordinaire.

Like a greyhound out of the traps, Kingo believes that any race can be won in the first 400 yards and that the remaining 2 miles and a river are just a mere inconvenience.

Most likely to say: Who fancies a quick shwally.

Least likely to: Be on the Bailiff barmaid's Christmas card list.

Remembered for: Gaffer taping his glasses onto his head so they didn't fall off in the river.

We salute ye!

A Date For The Diaries

April 9th 2010

The decision day. The theme WILL be decided upon that date.

Promise.

That Hill

We ran the course - most of it - in 14:52. Cool! 2 months to go.

That hill

Run tonight. Apparently TWICE around the bed race course which of course means TWICE up that HILL.

Crikey. And then Bank Holibobs tomorrow. Double Crikey.

Facebook

We have a shiny new facebook page @ http://www.facebook.com/thejuggs

Please be our friend!

BBC Songs of Praise

Being holy men, there is a possibility we may appear on Songs of Praise with our sparkly new bed.

No pressure then. Mind the language!

Money

This year the mighty Juggernauts are raising money for the wonderful Henshaws .

Henshaws are a local charity that has a national impact and we are very proud to be raising money for them.

Why not bob over to our JustGiving page to donate? Go on, it's fun and you'll feel better for it, honest.

At the speed of mud

We're back!

The mighty juggernauts are back up and rolling. Collectively we entered - and completed - the Arkendale 10k on Sunday. It didn't rain and no-one died, so all targets were met.

You can search for our results in amongst this lot here

Not sure what big Paul meant when he said it's not hilly, maybe reverse psychology?

So glad we made it

We are in!
