Arsenal

It started to rain as I left Spurs and I soon had to don all my waterproof gear. Through not the most scenic parts of London I sped in increasingly heavy rain until I spotted the old Highbury festooned in scaffolding. I asked where the new stadium was and a passing lady directed me. The sight of to Emirates Stadium was stunning even in a downpour. I cycled over the new bridge to the magnificent stadium but after pleading my case I still didn't manage to get into the ground. A little deflated I trudged the 10 miles back to the hotel. More spokes had broken in the last couple of days so I decided to replace them and do a bit of maintenance before I packed in for the day.

I did 41 miles today to take me over 500 miles so far. I have been to 17 clubs so still a lot to go. I phoned Barnet and asked if I could come at 9 in the morning but they said that a player would meet me and could not get there until 9.30 so we arranged to meet then. Guliano Grazioli will be the player. After a wash I went to Wetherspoons for supper.
