Got the T Shirt!

Yes done it! What a relief that is all over! There you go mum hope you were watching. Unfortunately i could not update the blog in france but i will post the full story and photos in the next few weeks. Here is Just a quick summary of what happened. 286 miles (97 on first day) sun, rain, wind, thunderstorms the lot! Hard very hard! Longest time on saddle over 8 hours. All very tiring but got carried through by some great company. More to come later....

PS....Anyone want to by a bike? One owner, slightly above average mileage!

The challenge begins!

Well i cant believe it, after all those months training and fund raising the main event itself has arrived....and yes i am a bit nervous! Rob picked me up this morning and kindly drove me to london (thanks rob for this, much appreciated). We arrived in Bow, london at 12, this just left a 9 mile ride to the Claredon hotel, Blackheath (nice place, right across from the common where we start tomorrow), which i found.... no problem. The bike is now safely locked up ready for tomorrows 6:30 start. apparently, 50 other cyclists are stopping here tonight but not met up with anyone as yet. I hope the weather is like today, dry and warm but what ever it throws at us, there is no turning back now! Well the fun starts early in the morning so i best go and find myself a pasta dinner and them get to bed for an early night! I will try and post on a daily basis to keep you informed of my progress so keep logging on! :-)

Only Days to Go!

How fast is the time going! Only 10 more days and I will be on the first leg of my trip. Training has tailed off now, I will be cycling short distances up to next weekend then that is it. The donations are still coming in and we have now reached £3600....way above earlier predictions....what will the end figure be?

By the way, did I mention that Derby are now in the Premiership!....just for the Forest fans out there, here are some photos of the Wembley day out...Great day....Are you watching Nottingham...!
