Me and my big mouth.
Just fired off an email all gung ho/Dunkerque spirit/don't worry, even if we have to crawl we will get there.
And then I went to speak to the Environment Agency who have told me that basically there isn't a hope in hell of getting on the water for Thurs or Fri and that it is highly unlikely we will get out on Sat or Sun as well. 1 or 2 days making up for cycling with rowing feels like it might be feasible, but 4 days without once getting in a boat kind of makes you question what we are doing...
Plus the severe weather warning means it is likely that parts of the Thames path could flood, it began to feel a bit stupid.
So whilst we may be down, we certainly aren't out.
A hastily convened meeting last night in the pub and we have got a new date - provisional at this stage - of Friday 13th June to Monday 16th June. A few more logistical things to sort before we can 100% confirm but hopefully we should be back on soon and ready to boss that Thames. Brint it on wet pants...
(not Ben - talking about the Thames obviously...which is surprisingly moist at the moment)

Gutted to say it but looks like we made the right decision - all but 4 locks of the river (the first 2 and last 2) are Red so that would have been a lot cycling!
Everything happens for a reason lads.
More time to raise more ££££££.
