Yes, I won’t be watching Countdown for a fortnight, have to find something else to keep me occupied…
Nerves are kicking in big time now. The bike is all packed up ready to go (bar last minute items). Weighs a ton and I cant fit anything else in. Bit late now, but front panniers might have been useful to spread the load. Will take it out for a spin later, to see if I can still turn the pedals.
Final preparations under way, the most important being to get the route loaded on to my gps plus route cards as back-up. Slight bit of pressure as I don’t think I have space to take a road atlas as back-up!
Last visit to chiropracter yesterday, who didn’t say I shouldn’t do it, so can’t back out now….

One Sleep…
July 3rd, 2008 by ianmadelin in Ian's TrainingI can hardly contain my excitement now, I have packed and repacked several times this week already and have been adding some finer finishing touches. Sorted all my chore’s and am ready for the action.
I got a little over enthuised on Tuesday evening, knocking out a short sixteen mile sprint tow path circuit, over stretching my knee slightly, was very painful yesterday but the signs are good this morning.
I’ve ran out of lasagne now, so I’ve started gathering a few extra kebab pounds to ensure I keep my physical frame, I think I may have had a little too much to drink last night, because the portion purchased seemed much smaller than the deposit on my plate, I’m sure the package inflated upon opening, very yummy all the same.
Right, no more chatter, back to last minute fund raising and packing.
