Four Days to go.......

Exactly where has the past 5 months gone, it seems to have gone by a little too quickly, but to show how far I've come, I did a time of 11 minutes 45 seconds up the hill from the Cross Hands to the Cranham turn on the A46. The significance of this is that when Alan and I were mountain biking and were around 28 years old, we trained on that hill a lot and that was the time we always aimed for. To match it at 44 felt pretty good. When we started training, back in February, my time was 23 minutes......
Apart from that, its been a pretty lazy weekend, spent most of it making sure Gert is ready to go. Alan and I did a little circuit last night, and I did about 15 miles today. Have a long day in London tomorrow, and what with other comittments, that is pretty much it for training. So here we come Lands Ends.
I've embedded a Google Map on the site, the idea will be that we will update the route we have taken each day, but it does rely upon our friends at O2 letting us connect to the Internet, so I'm guessing that there will be days we won't be able to do it.
Speak soon
