It's only a few days to go now and so I'm trying to take it easy before the big off on Sunday.  Training has gone well, diet has improved and the bike .... well it's not about the bike.  I'll try to keep everybody updated during the course of the ride but if you don't hear from me assume it's exhaustion and not because I misjudged a hairpin bend coming down one of the descents.

I'm hugely grateful to everyone who's supported me - I'll bore you all with tales of daring and good causes when I come home.
