Wow, how time flies when you're working hard!
So it feels like just the other day the bike ride was months away and here we are… 20 days until I start my journey! Training on the bike has been an interesting experience and I'm sure it has been a taste of things to come. So far I have been cut up 3 times, run off the road once and nearly sideswiped too many to mention. But this is what happens when a cyclist goes on the road. Rant over.
I have managed to complete my route on the computer and tracked it all out. With a few tweaks here and there I think I can save a few miles but I will only really be able to tell that when I get out on the road. I'll be posting my route in my next entry so stay tuned for that!
Kit wise I have finally organised what is being taken and to a degree I know where everything is going. I have my 2 lowrider panniers being filled with clothes, my netbook and chargers for my devices. My rear top-bag will hold my tools, bike lock, snacks and waterproofs and finally my handlebar bag will hold my maps, phone, keys and wallet etc… everything I need to keep to hand.
Sponsorship forms have now gone out at work so hopefully will be getting a few names down for that! I currently have £220 donated and a projected total of £305 so fingers crossed I can get that to shoot up!
So that's all for now. Next time I will update you all with my route.
