I wish they didn't keep talking about a 'challenge'

Well, its just under four months until we set off from somewhere in Bexley and expect to end up in Paris three days later. Will the legs make it? How many punctures will I get? How many times will I fall off? Will Alex remember its not a race? Whatever happens, it will be a trip to remember. I keep seeing the word 'challenge' in all the documentation and I keep thinking that I'm not too keen on that word. So I hope that the preparation will be good enough and that I shall be ready. 50 miles cracked a couple of weeks ago, so I hope to make the 60 miles in the next couple of weeks. Then its the Purbecks - oh joy!
