I set off to work this morning thinking to myself that today would be my final day in work before the tour. On Monday, it was hard not to think about heading to France on Friday morning. As I dropped my bike off at Halfords for it’s service, I had a sudden flutter of butterflies in my stomach. I was nervous that I hadn’t bought everything I knew I would need, I spent a few panicked moments wandering aimlessly around Halford’s bike section looking at various accessories.
Now, less than 48 hours before we set off, the nerves have been replaced by excitement. As long as the kit I’ve ordered from wiggle.co.uk arrives today, which it should, I'll be entirely ready to go!
I've enjoyed preparing for the tour, and even after a brief scare with a knee injury and rehabilitation after our first ride together I can’t believe we’re about to do this! The thought of arriving in Paris under our own steam is very exciting.
I’ve managed to raise over £800 so far, and hope that some of the people that promised to sponsor me will get their cash in over the next couple of days!
