7 days to go!


And the weather looks to have just turned a corner, at least for an hour or two. A bit restricted so far this week - 25 miles on Monday, 27 on Tuesday and then nearly had to row home in a boat last night. My shoes were still wet this morning. The weekend looks more promising so I'm hoping to get a good 50 mile ride in on Saturday morning. Maybe the New Forest again as I've not bene in that direction for some time.


It's beginning to sink in that a week tomorrow, at 7:30am, around 65 people, including yours truly, will start to prove themselves all mad. And, Yes, I'm still looking forward to it.
