It is at this time you sit down and think why, why, why? Only 3 days and I start my unsuported cycle from London to Paris. Round about Chistmas time when the decission was made to do the cycle it seemed a long way ahead, plenty of time to train, get fit, lose weight etc etc. Now with 3 days to go the reality is - not enough training, still unfit and no or very little weight loss. How is that the distance between dreams, wishes, hopes and reality is about 12 million miles!!!
I know that the money raised for Wilthsire Air Ambulance is good and will make a difference, and a big thank you to all who have sponsored me - still time for those who wish to add something to the kitty.
Weather is not very nice today so hope it improves for 0600 on Tuesday 1st July. Bike panniers are packed (at least 30 Soreen Go bars) tent and sleeping bag organised, large pump ready, spare tube OK, repair kit organised and tools checked so in theory I am ready for the 4 days. New flag pole and I have a Nemo on the top with a pirate flag just below. Waiting for my Scottish flaf and I hope it comes in time.
Must stop as I have just realised the time as I have to take my car for MOT test - hope it is OK.
Take care and stay safe.
