Just enough energy for the celebrations

Well that's the final climb done. The best description of how I now feel is that I've purged the last remaining energy from my body. It feels go

A very cold but completed Col du Tourmalet

17.7km of climbing done. Slow with some tough moments but overall a great climb. It took 2 hours.

Preparation

The packing has been done and the bike is now in the lap of the British Airway baggage handling gods. Good look Cervelo, I hope you make it through unscathed!

It looks like with the help of my friends and Nationwide colleagues I'll raise over £500 so there is no backing out now. I just need the legs and lungs to hold out.

Quite nervous.
