Two weeks to go.............

A mere 14 days left before the team rolls out of the gate on our epic challenge.  The 'ground rush' is upon us and there isn't much time left to condition the legs and prepare the bikes.  The route is set, accom plot sorted and the MCO starts the PR campaign tomorrow!  We're getting some great PR and assistance from RAFA and we're looking forward to 'flying the RAFA flag' through the towns and cities along the route.  The riding team won't have a great deal of time to stop on the way, but the support team will be running our RAFA Stall in various locations.

The last few days haven't been the best for training, unless you are a fan of 55kt winds and the various spinning bikes across the unit have been getting the good news.  Most of the team managed to get out for some training on the road late on today, but more miles are still needed in the old lets methinks.  We've got a big training serial planned for Saturday in the shape of the Richmond Cyclosportive 5 Dale 100 miler.  Its not the distance that's the issue, but the route profile that includes 5 big climbs, with the 2 biggest in the last half of the ride.  I think there's a big scramble for granny gears going on this week - just hoping that my 28t arrives before Saturday!!


A big thank you to everyone who has helped, donated, sponsored or simply given us much needed moral support.  Many of you have been extremely generous and we appreciate every penny.  We get closer to our fundraising target of £10,000 every day and I'm convinced we'll not only meet, but get well past it.

Important day tomorrow, putting the finishing touches to some of the arrangements for the event and making sure all the admin is sorted.  There's a lot of admin........................!!!
