Have finally worked out the cycle route from London to Newhaven and you can view it on line at http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1949765. This will let you see all of the route and give you some idea of where I will be cycling. The French part of the route will be available as well in the next few days.
Spent most of Sunday trying to fix the front gearing on my bike - could not get it to go on all three rings when I wanted - it was usually a combination of any two and on many ocassions only one. Did all the things that I thought you needed to do and it did not make any difference. Eventually I got it fixed and the thought came to me that if this happenned on the charity cycle it would have taken me some time to fix - now much more confident that I could fix it if needed.
Now come to understand that I will never lose 1 stone by the 1st of July so guess I willl be around the 12stone for the cycle. Heavier than I wanted with a bigger beer belly than I need but still confident I will manage
