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! :-)
