Before we set off at 11am tomorrow, here is a little introduction to our team members:

Team member - Graeme Barnett (nickname GB), Exhibition Director, Reed Travel Exhibitions, EIBTM & BTM

About Graeme - in between 48 & 50, Lives inWest Wickham, Kent, married - to Linda, kids - Katy 20 & Chris 19

Previous sporting highlights - playing hockey for England U21's, running The London Marathon ( 2004 & 2005)

Cycling experience - hadn't ridden a bike for 35 years until October 2012 when I decidedly to join the L2P challenge. Been training hard since then despite the cold winter and cool summer. Nearly killed myself in February when I fell off trying to go up a ridiculously steep hill - never doing that again! Cycled to work on one day in April and vowed never again - road conditions terrible and your life is most defiantly not in your own hands

Bike - Cube GTC (red, white & black)

Why Just A Drop - its a fabulous charity that really does make a huge difference to people's lives - and it's been run by Fiona Jeffery & her team over the years and I know first hand how much it means to raise every penny - (so FJ this one's for you!)

Looking forward to - having a laugh with some great colleagues, cycling through the French countryside, having a rub down every evening, a very very very long beer Sunday evening

Not looking forward to - 4 hours ferry to Dieppe ( my worst nightmare!), ice bath each evening & sore bits!!
