So, it's almost time. Just over two weeks to the off.
And I am thrilled to report that through many generous donations I am well clear of my target of £2,750. In fact my total stands at £3,490 - thank you so much to those who have put money in the tin! I certainly have every incentive and to overcome the dusty roads, heat and humidity.
Will also start posting a few more blogs, and hopefully I'll find occasion and connectivity to do so en route. My trusty little netbook (sadly usurped by the iPad in recent months) is enjoying a new lease of life. Software upgraded, blogs set up feeding to Facebook, GPS watch primed and ready (yes,really!)
Helmet and padded pants bought, voluminous supplies of rehydration tablets and 'butt cream' on stand by ( it appears to have been my default Christmas present this year).
And the training? Well, at the weekends I've been discovering local roads, villages and hills I didn't think existed or I'd never thought i'd manage to pedal up. The Boris bike track through Hyde Park is well worn. And I've lost 10kg (ok, that last bit isn't true!) Will it all be enough?
It's not long before I find out!
