Haven’t been out on the bike for a week now. Do you know why? Because I don’t want to injure myself or the bike before we start! How stupid is that? Partly because you lot have kindly sponsored me and I don’t want to let anyone down, so I must be fit enough, and bike not broken, to go. All started when I tripped over the dog and twisted my ankle last week – which put me off the bike for a few days, and then I thought what else could go wrong… and thought it best not to tempt fate!
However, on Monday Nic and I are doing a trial run with all our gear, just a 10 miler or something, to check for rattles and to realise we’ve packed far too much for “them there hills” and unpack half of it!
